Solution
The correct option is B Vegetative propagation Vegetative reproduction is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant or a specialized reproductive structure. Only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent. The new plant is genetically identical to the parent. It can happen through the use of vegetative parts of the plants, such as leaves, stems, and roots to produce new plants or through growth from specialized vegetative plant parts
So, the correct answer is 'vegetative propagation'
