Solution

The correct option is A Grafting
Artificial propagation is the development of a new plant from the body parts of an old plant by humans. Grafting is a type of artificial propagation in which a plant is produced by combining favourable shoot characteristics with favourable root characteristics. The stock is the lower part of a plant having roots. Scion is the upper part of a plant which may have leaves but no roots. In grafting, the cut surfaces of scion and stock are bound tightly to produce a new plant with the characteristics of both.
