Solution

The correct option is C Growth of plantlets in nutrient media in the laboratory
Micropropagation is a tissue culture technique for plant propagation in which tissue is taken from a plant and grown in a laboratory to produce plants that are genetically identical to the parent. The small portion of plant tissue, sometimes only a single cell, is placed on a growth medium, typically containing sucrose as an energy source.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
