Solution

The correct option is B Grafting.
Mango and guava are propagated through grafting. It is a horticulture technique where the living detached portion of the plant is used to regenerate the growth. One plant is selected for its roots and this is called the stock or rootstock. The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits and is called the scion. The joining of scion and stalk is known as inosculation. The techniques are mostly used in the asexual mode of reproduction.
So, the correct answer is option B.
