Solution

The correct option is B Mitotic division
Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in plants in which the somatic cells give rise to new individuals.
Offsets are vegetative propagules, they are short, lateral shoots, bearing clustered leaves at the tips, and are capable of taking root as plant daughters when separated from the parent plant. They are produced by mitotic division of somatic cells.
Parthenogenesis is a form of reproduction in which an egg can develop into an embryo without being fertilized by a sperm.
Parthenocarpy is introduced with plant hormones such as gibberellic acid. It causes ovaries to mature without fertilization and seedless bigger fruits.
Meitoic division is the for the production of male and female gametes in organisms.
