The correct option is D Vegetative Part – Potato tuber, Reproductive part – Flower
The vegetative part of the plant has buds on it. From these buds new individual plants can grow. In the potato plant, the potato tuber contains “eyes” which are actually buds. If you provide sufficient moisture you can observe new plants growing from the potato. The tubers come from a single plant; hence it is a mode of vegetative propagation and tubers are vegetative parts
The potato plant produces flowers for sexual reproduction. In fact, potatoes are grown in farms from seeds obtained from flowers rather than using tubers. Hence, flowers are reproductive parts of plants.
