The correct option is D 1-B, 2-C, 3-D, 4-A, 5-F, 6-E

• In vegetative reproduction, carrot is an example of modified root.
• In bryophyllum new plantlets grow from the bud present at the margin of a leaf.
• Potato is a modified stem. They are usually called tubers. Tubers have buds over their nodes (eyes). These buds produce new plantlets when planted in soil.
• In case of onions, new plants grows from the bulb outgrowth. E.g., Raspberry where new roots grow from the nodes of underground stem.
• In case of sugarcane, roots grow at the nodes of the stem giving rise to new plant.
