Solution
The correct option is D
Coconut tree
Amoeba reproduces by fission. Planaria reproduces by fragmentation and bryophyllum reproduces by vegetative propagation. All these three are asexual modes of reproduction. In coconut trees, or any palm trees, pollen from male flowers transfers to female flowers, which develop a fruit with a seed inside. This is sexual reproduction, and it keeps the species genetically flexible.
