The correct option is B Eichhornia
Artificial methods of vegetative propagation include the usage of man-made techniques in which the somatic part of the plant can be made to develop into an individual plant. Cutting, layering and grafting are few such methods.
Cuttings can be cut pieces of root, stem or leaves based on which this method is further subdivided into root cutting, stem cutting and leaf cutting.
Begonia, Sansevieria (snake plant) and Bryophyllum are vegetatively propagated through leaf cuttings. Leaves are cut into 2-3 parts transversely and planted in the soil vertically.
Eichhornia is vegetatively propagated through sub-aerial stem modifications known as offsets.
