Solution

The correct option is C Micropropagation
Micropropagation is culture of apical shoots, axillary buds and meristems on suitable nutrient medium to produce a genetically identical progeny. Macropropagation is production of progeny by means of conventional techniques including cuttings, air-layering and grafting. Production of genetically identical cell lineage or organisms is called as cloning. It includes both conventional and tissues culture techniques. Asexual propagation refers to production of progeny by single parent plant, it can occur through vegetative propagules (rhizome, tubers and bulb) or by artificial methods (cutting, and grafting).
Hence, the correct option is C.
