Solution
The correct option is B Bulbils Cycas is a gymnosperm. Reproduction occurs vegetatively and sexually. The vegetative reproduction occurs through bulbils. They are produced adventitiously in the crevices between persistent leaf bases. The decurrent base of bulbil is covered with scale leaf. During favourable period they separate from parent plant and grow into independent new plant.
