Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In plants the units of vegetative propagation such as runner, Thizome, sucker, tuber, offset, bulb are all capable of giving rise to new offspring. These structures are called vegetative propagules. Obviously, since the formation of these structures does not involve two parents, the process involved is asexual.
