The correct option is B Grafting
Scion is the detached living part of the plant which is grafted to the stalk by the process of grafting. Grafting is a horticulture technique where the living detached portion of the plant is used to regenerate the growth. One plant is selected for its roots and this is called the stock or rootstock. The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits and is called the scion. The joining of scion and stalk is known as inosculation. The technique is mostly used in the asexual mode of reproduction. So, the correct answer is option B.
