Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Cutting

Artificial vegetative propagation is a method used for reproduction of plants that produce few seeds or nonviable seeds. There are various methods of artificial vegetative propagation like grafting, cutting, layering, micropropagation. Grafting is method of artificial propagation in which stem of one plant is attached to root of another plant. Cutting is a method of artificial propagation in which stem containing nodes and internodes are planted into the soil. In micropropagation, plant tissue culture is used to produce large number of progeny plants. In layering, stem is bent closed to soil and is covered with the soil. Out of all these methods, cutting is the most convenient and cheap method of artificial propagation.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
