Solution

The correct option is B Bryophyllum
Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. The new plant is genetically identical to the plant and it grows from parts of the parent plant.
Of the given options, Bryophyllum produces plantlets along the margins of its leaves. When they mature, they drop off and root in any suitable soil beneath.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B), 'Bryophyllum.'
