Solution
The correct option is A Scion
Grafting is the technique whereby tissues from one plant are inserted into those of another so that the two sets of vascular tissues may join together. One plant is selected for its roots and this is called the stock while the other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers or fruits and is called the scion. The scion contains the desired genes to be duplicated in future production by the stock/scion plant and this scion is grafted over the stock.
So, the correct answer is option B.
