Solution

The correct option is B By propagating through vegetative multiplication
The propagation through vegetative multiplication is used to maintain the genetic traits of a given plant. It gives rise to genetically uniform population or clone. In case of plants propagated through seeds, variations creep in due to chance segregation and recombination of genes during meiosis and their chance combination during fertilisation.
