• C. Such plants produce seeds and fruits much earlier than plants produced from other methods.
• D. Plants produced by this method are identical copies of the parent plant.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Such plants produce seeds and fruits much earlier than plants produced from other methods.

Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant. Seeds are not involve in this type of reproduction process. Plants produced by vegetative propagation are identical copies of their parents. They take nearly the same amount of time to grow and bear fruits.
