Solution

The correct option is B Scion
Grafting is a technique whereby tissues from one plant are inserted into those of another so that the two sets of vascular tissues may join together.
The plant that is selected for its roots is called the stock while the other plant, selected for its stems, leaves, flowers or fruits is called the scion
Thus, the correct answer is option (B), 'Scion'.
