$\begin{array}{cc}\text{I}& \text{II}\\ \text{A. Grass}& \text{i) Tubers}\\ \text{B. Mint}& \text{ii) Runners}\\ \text{C. Ginger}& \text{iii) Suckers}\\ \text{D. Potato}& \text{iv) Rhizomes}\end{array}$

• A. A-iii, B-ii, C-i, D-iv
• B. A-ii, B-i, C-iii, D-iv
• C. A-iv, B-ii, C-i, D-iii
• D. A-ii, B-iii, C-iv, D-i

Answer 1

The correct option is D A-ii, B-iii, C-iv, D-i

$\bullet$ Grass has runners. Runners are stems that grow horizontally above the ground. They have nodes where buds are present. These buds grow into a new plant.
$\bullet$ Mint has suckers from which new plants are formed.
$\bullet$ Ginger reproduces asexually by rhizomes.
$\bullet$ Potatoes have stem tubers. They are covered with a number of depressions called “eye” and each eye represents a node.
