Solution

The correct option is B Layering

Artificial methods of vegetative propagation include the usage of man-made techniques in which the somatic part of the plant can be made to develop into an individual plant. Cutting, layering and grafting are few such methods.

Layering is a type of rooting- cutting technique in which adventitious roots are made to grow on stems while it is still attached to the parent plant.

Micropropagation includes plant propagation by culturing the cell/tisues/organs in nutrient medium and providing it with all other necessary conditions.

Grafting is a process in which a stem is cut and tied over the stem of another plant having roots to combine the characteristics of both plants into one.

Budding is a type of asexual reproduction, in which a small bud protrudes from the parent body which initially remains attached to it. The bud later separates and matures into an adult yeast. Here, the division of the parent body is unequal.
