Solution

The correct option is A Bryophyllum and Kalanchoe
Some plants have adventitious buds in their leaves. These are usually present in the notches along the margins of leaf and have the potential to germinate into new plants.

Kalanchoe, whose common name is mother of thousands, has the ability to give rise to an individual plantlet at each notch in the leaf. When these plantlets reach a certain size, they drop off onto the ground and start growing.
Similarly, Bryophyllum also form plantlets from leaf margins.

Suckers in Chrysanthemum and bulbils in Agave help in their vegetative propagation.
So, the correct answer is Bryophyllum and Kalanchoe
