Solution
The correct option is B Bryophyllum
When the buds arises on the leaves they are called as epiphyllous buds, e.g., Bryophyllum. Epiphyllous budding is a unique mode of vegetative proliferation in restricted plant species. Leaf detachment induces activation of these buds which then develop into plantlets by differentiating roots and shoot. Leaf detachment not only induces bud differentiation but also concurrently triggers foliar senescence. Inflorescences and vegetative shoots arise from epiphyllous buds on the adaxial surface of the rachis between the pinna pairs.
