Solution
The correct option is D Tissue culture
A new banana plant can be produced by tissue culture.
The growth of tissues or cells separate from the organisms is called tissue culture.
This is facilitated in a liquid, semi-solid or solid growth medium, such as broth or agar.
Banana is parthenocarpic (fruits formed without fertilization of ovules) or seedless fruits.
They grow from a bulb or rhizome and takes around 9 to 12 months from sowing a banana bulb to harvesting the fruit.
Banana trees can easily adapt to tissue culture technology in labs.
