Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction, in vegetatively propagated plants pure line selection is not required as they have the same genotype.
hybrid vigour occurs when the hybrid offspring have increased vigour towards either of the parents.
So the correct answer is option C.
