Solution

The correct option is B Layering
There are various methods used for the propagation of new plants by using the parts of the same existing plant. Layering is one of the methods of plant propagation. One of the branches of the stem of the parent plant is layered under the soil. The tip of this branch is above the ground and is attached to a rod or stick for support. The aerial branch which is layered starts producing roots and grow on its own. Later on, this new plant is separated from the mother plant. The branch which is grown underground by this method is called layer.
So, the correct answer is option B.
