Solution

(c) Results in greater variety

Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction that does not involve any special cells. It requires only one parent and the individuals produced are identical to the parent plant. Asexual reproduction results in plants with less variation. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, results in plants of a greater variety.
