Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
Air layering is a technique used to generate roots from the stem regions for plants that are difficult to root. In this technique, the stem is wounded or peeled and then enveloped with sphagnum moss. This process would induce new root formation on the rigid stem. Plants like Magnolia, Gardenia, rose, fig and similar varieties are subjected to this method of layering.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
