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.
