Solution

The correct option is C Bryophyllum
Bryophyllum proliferates by vegetative reproduction. It has vegetatively grown small plantlets on the fringes of the leaves i.e., foliar adventitious buds. These eventually drop off and root. These plantlets arise from mitosis of meristematic type tissue in notches in the leaves which divides incessantly to form a new plant.
