Solution

The correct option is A Tongue grafting
In tongue grafting, oblique sloping notches is made on both the stock and the scion. Both the scion and stock are interlocked with a good fit and tied together. The interlocking ‘tongues’ add structural support to the join as the cambium layers heal and fuse together, as well giving a larger surface area of cambial contact.
In crown grafting, many scions are selected and their basal portions are inserted in the slits of the stock.
In bud grafting, the stock is given a T-shaped notch where the bud (scion) is inserted.
In side grafting, a V-shaped notch is given to the stock on one side, and the scion with a sharpened side is inserted into the stock.
