Solution
The correct option is B Lemon and Tamarind The process of growing plants using artificial method is called artificial vegetative reproduction. In the method of vegetative reproduction by root cutting, a piece of root is cut from a parent plant, placed in a growing medium, and then left to grow its own system of roots and stems. This process results in the creation of a new plant that is often considered a ‘ clone’ of the parent plant, with the same genetic qualities. With vegetative reproduction plants also bypass juvenile or immature sidling phase and therefore reach the mature phase sooner. This can save a lot of time and money for commercial plant production. Fruit bearing plants like lemon and tamarind are artificially reproduced by root cutting to harvest fruits faster.
