• A. Rhizome
• B. Tuber
• C. Stem
• D. Bud

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rhizome

Ginger is multiplied vegetatively by rhizome. It is an underground modification of stem. It develops root and shoots from the nodes. The nodes are meristematic in nature which produces adventitious root and shoots. The plant uses the rhizome to store starch, proteins, and other nutrients.

Potatoes are propagated by tubers.

Rose is propagated by stem cutting.

Buds present at the nodes help in the propagation of plant-like sugarcane.

So, the correct answer is option A.
