Solution

The correct option is B Budding
In fragmentation, no bud formation takes place. Grafting is a technique used to connect two parts, usually a root and the shoot of two different plants.
In budding, the bud doesn’t detach until it has developed into a self-sustaining complete organism, as seen in the case of Hydra and yeast.
