The correct option is B Explant
Explant is any portion taken from a plant that will be used to initiate a culture. It can be a portion of the shoot or of the leaves or even just some cells. It is a piece of sterile plant tissue to be used for tissue culture under aseptic conditions. Inoculant is the active material used in an inoculation. Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Somacloning is cloning of plant with a single cell.
