Solution

The correct option is C rootstock, scion
Grafting is a method of artificial propagation in which the stem of a plant is cut and then fitted on another plant that is firmly attached to the ground with the help of roots. In this arrangement, the plant attached firmly to the ground with its roots is called the rootstock and the stem of another plant that is fitted with the rootstock is called the scion.
