The correct option is C Bryophyllum

Bryophyllum is multiplied vegetatively by leaves. The leaves of the Bryophyllum have notch which when falls on the moist soil, germinates into flower. The notch is meristematic in nature which has the potential to germinate into a new plant which has adventitious roots.
