Solution

The correct option is B Both have progeny identical to the parent.
Vegetative reproduction term is applied for asexual reproduction in plants. As no sex cells are involved there is no variation seen in progeny and progeny is identical to parent. Apomixis means reproduction without mixing of gametes. Amphimixis means reproduction which involves mixing of gametes. As gametes are not involved in vegetative reproduction and apomixis, the progeny is identical to parent and is called clone of parent.
