The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Concept of Vegetative Propagation:** - Vegetative propagation is a method of asexual reproduction in plants where a part of the plant can grow into a new individual. This can occur through various structures like buds, bulbs, and turions. 2. **Analyze the Options Provided:** - The options given are Bud, Bulbul, Turion, and Anthrozoid. We need to determine which of these is not involved in vegetative propagation. 3. **Evaluate Each Option:** - **Bud:** - Buds are capable of vegetative propagation. For example, in potatoes, the "eyes" or buds can grow into new plants. - **Bulbul:** - Bulbuls, like those found in onions, can also grow into new plants when separated from the parent plant. Thus, they are used in vegetative propagation. - **Turion:** - Turions are hard outgrowths that can develop in the roots of some plants under stress conditions. They can also grow into new plants, indicating they are involved in vegetative propagation. - **Anthrozoid:** - Anthrozoids refer to the male gametes (sperms) of plants and are involved in sexual reproduction, not vegetative propagation. 4. **Identify the Correct Answer:** - Since anthrozoids are associated with sexual reproduction and do not contribute to vegetative propagation, the correct answer to the question is **Anthrozoid**. **Final Answer: Anthrozoid is not used for vegetative propagation.** ---
