Solution

The correct option is B Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
The genetically identical plants developed from any somatic part of a plant by tissue culture are called somaclones. Through micropropagation, plants are produced which will be genetically identical to the original plant. But someimes, due to errors in the DNA replication machinery, slight variations are produced. This is called somaclonal variation.
