Answer 1

The correct option is C micropropagation

Plantlet culture
Plantlet culture is the technique of growing small and young plants developed by the cells of the callus during tissue culture.

Organ culture
Organ culture means the $invitro$ development of organs or part of organs from various tissue components.

Micropropagation
Micropropagation is an $invitro$ technique that uses tissue culture for the commercial production of plantlets. As a result of micropropagation, large amounts of high quality plants can be produced in a short duration of time. Usually plants that have a high commercial value are grown using this method.

Macropropagation
Micropropagation is a method of vegetative propagation using conventional methods like offset, rhizome planting, stem cuttings and layering .
