Solution
The correct option is A Bryophyllum
Bryophyllum is propagated by means of leaf buds. The buds produced on the notches along the leaf margin of Bryophyllum detach and develop into new independent plants.
Sweet potato and carrot are examples of vegetative propagation by roots. As the sweet potato with buds is planted in soil, the bud starts to grow into the root and shoot system, and eventually, a new plant is formed.
Banana plants develop buds as projections out of the stem. The part of the stem with buds serves as the organ for vegetative propagation.
