Solution

The correct option is B Bryophyllum
Bryophyllum is a plant genus found in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In this plant, leaves are fleshy and succulent to store food and water. They are oval in shape. The succulent nature of these leaves provides nutrition to the tiny plantlets which develop on the margins of these leaves. These plantlets detach from the leaf and root to form adult plants.
