Solution

The correct option is B clone

Callus
Callus is an unorganised mass of tissue.

Clone
Clones are organisms that are genetically and morphologically identical to each other.
Offspring produced as a result of asexual reproduction are genetically identical to each other and the parent.
Thus a population of genetically identical individuals obtained from asexual reproduction is considered to be clones.

Deme
Deme is a sub-population in which individuals can breed freely.

Aggregate
Aggregate refers to a group or collection of organisms or cells.

Final answer
(b) Clone
