The correct option is A True
Vegetative propagation:
Vegetative propagation is a method of asexual reproduction in which parts other than seeds are used to propagule a structural unit used in place of seeds, for multiplication.
There are two types of methods for vegetative propagation.
They are classified as natural methods and artificial methods
The production of offspring by a single parent without the formation of gametes is called Asexual reproduction.
As only somatic cells are involved it is also called somatogenic reproduction.
Due to monoparental reproduction, it produces identical offspring (all are clones).
