Solution

The correct option is D The propagation of bryophyllum takes place using leaves.
Vegetative propagation is the method of producing a new plant from the vegetative parts of the plant i.e. leaves, stem and roots. In bryophyllum, vegetative propagation takes place through leaves. The leaf in the bryophyllum plant is broad and has notches at its margins.Buds produced in the notches along the leaf margin of bryophyllum fall on the soil and develop into
new plants.
