Solution
The correct option is C I - Layering , II - Grafting
- Layering is the process where part of the aerial stem develops roots while still being attached to the parent plant. After developing roots, it is detached from the parent plant and grows as an independent plant.
- Grafting is a technique that joins two plants into one such that a union is formed with the desirable characters. In this method one plant is selected for its roots, and is called the stock. The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits and is called the scion. It is the fastest way of growing desirable varieties of fruiting trees & flowering shrubs on a large scale.
