• B. I, II, and III
• C. I and IV
• D. I and III

Answer 1

The correct option is D I and III

Asexual reproduction requires only one parent plant. There is no exchanging of genetic information, therefore, offspring are clones of the parent. Asexual reproduction in plants can occur in a variety of forms which includes budding, vegetative propagation, spore formation, and fragmentation. Hence I and III are correct.
