The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement one by one to determine if they are correct or incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement (i)**: - **Statement**: "Conidia are the asexual propagules restricted to Kingdom Fungi." - **Analysis**: Conidia are indeed a type of asexual spore produced by fungi. They are non-motile and are specific to the fungal kingdom. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 2. **Evaluate Statement (ii)**: - **Statement**: "A piece of potato tuber having at least one eye (or node) is capable of giving rise to a new plant." - **Analysis**: Potato tubers have "eyes" which are nodes that can sprout and develop into new plants. Each eye can give rise to a new potato plant. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 3. **Evaluate Statement (iii)**: - **Statement**: "Ginger propagates vegetatively with the help of its underground roots." - **Analysis**: Ginger actually propagates through rhizomes, which are modified underground stems, not roots. This statement incorrectly identifies the structure involved in vegetative propagation. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Evaluate Statement (iv)**: - **Statement**: "Fleshy buds which take part in vegetative propagation are called bulbils, present in Dioscorea, Agave, etc." - **Analysis**: Bulbils are indeed fleshy buds that can develop into new plants, and they are found in plants like Dioscorea and Agave. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are (i), (ii), and (iv). ### Summary of Correct Statements: - (i) Conidia are the asexual propagules restricted to Kingdom Fungi. - (ii) A piece of potato tuber having at least one eye (or node) is capable of giving rise to a new plant. - (iv) Fleshy buds which take part in vegetative propagation are called bulbils, present in Dioscorea, Agave, etc.
