Solution
The correct option is C Tissue culture
The image depicts an artificial vegetative propagation technique of tissue culture. A very small tissue from any of the plant part is grown in laboratory conditions such that a complete plantlet arises from it. This plantlet can then be transferred to soil and it grows to become a mature plant. This method is also known as micropropagation. It has the following advantages:
- Production of exact copies of the parent plant with desirable characteristics.
- Produces multiple plants in the absence of seeds or pollinators.
- Production of plants in sterile conditions reduces the chances of transmission of plant diseases.
