Answer 1

The correct option is A Scion

Grafting is simply inserting a portion of one plant (usually a shoot the scion) onto another the host so that they grow together to make a single plant. Grafting is very common in commercial horticulture virtually all mass-marketed roses are grafted onto a vigorous rootstock of a different variety many fruit trees and other ornamentals are treated similarly. Quality of fruits produced wilI depend upon genotypes of scion only, stock is just acting as a support.
