Solution

The correct option is B serpentine layering

Various artificial or horticultural methods of vegetative propagation include cutting, layering, grafting, etc.

Layering is a type of artificial vegetative propagation technique in which adventitious roots are made to grow on stems while it is still attached to the parent plant.

The method of inducing rooting by girdling aerial branches is called “air layering”. It is also called gootee, or pot layering.

In serpentine layering, stems of the plants are laid in the ground and alternatively covered and exposed over their entire length. A slanting cut is made at the point where layering of the shoot has to be done. Roots arise in close proximity to the node that is covered and new stems arise from the buds which are not covered.
