Solution

The correct option is B Epimorphosis
Epimorphosis is a type of regeneration that involves the dedifferentiation of adult structures in order to form an undifferentiated mass of cells.
They are highly proliferating and accumulate under the epidermis, which has already expanded. Within two days, the bulge transforms into aconical hump. This lump of dedifferentiated cells along with the epidermal covering is called regeneration bud or regeneration blastema. The dedifferential cells continue to proliferate and finally redifferentiate to form a rudiment of the limb. The rudiment eventually transforms into a limb. For example, Limb regeneration in amphibians. Hence, the above phenomena can be related to Epimorphosis. So, the correct answer is 'Epimorphosis'.
