The purpose of testing the newly selected lines in farmers' fields is evaluation of the yield and other agronomic traits of quality, disease resistance, etc. Therefore, option a) is the correct answer as it accurately summarizes the purpose of testing the newly selected lines in plant breeding. Option 2) is incorrect as it refers to the previous step of selecting and testing superior recombinants among the progeny of the hybrids. Option 3) is also incorrect as it refers to the step of collecting and preserving wild relatives of the crop, which is a different step in the breeding process.  option 1) is the correct answer.
