The correct option is C (i), (ii) and (iv)
Sporulation refers to the process by which an organism produces specialised reproductive structures called spores. Conidia are spores found in several fungi belonging to the ascomycetes taxon.
Potato is vegetatively propagated by underground modification of stems called tubers which have axillary buds over their nodes (also called eyes).
Ginger is vegetatively propagated by underground modification of stems known as rhizomes.
Fleshy buds which take part in vegetative propagation are called bulbils. They are present in Dioscorea, Agave, etc.
