Solution
The correct option is B Walking fern
Propagation through leaves is a method of vegetative propagation. Some plants form detachable plantlets (small plants) in notches along their leaf margins. Adiantum caudatum, is commonly called as walking maiden hair, or tailed maiden hair, or trailing maidenhair fern. It is a fern of genus Adiantum. The name "walking fern" derives from the fact that new plantlets grow wherever the arching leaves of the parent touch the ground, creating a walking effect. So, the correct answer is option A.
