Solution
The correct option is B Vegetative part
Most plants have roots, stems and leaves which are called the vegetative parts of a plant. Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in which new plants are produced from the vegetative parts of an old plant, i.e. leaves, stem and roots.
Examples: Bryophyllum uses buds present in the margin of leaves for vegetative propagation; roots in plants like sweet potato and dahlia are used for vegetative propagation, etc.
