Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The most common form of asexual reproduction in plants is called vegetative propagation. It is the formation of new plants from vegetative uni:s (propagules) such as buds, tubers, rhizomes, roots, stem, leaf etc. Besides the natural methods of vegetative propagation, there are a number of techniques for artificial vegetative propagation of economically and aesthetically important plants. Potatoes are produced by tubers and net by seeds. Stem tubers are found in potato and artichoke. They have buds in the region of nodes or eyes for vegetative multiplication. Root cuttings are used in the propagation of lemon, apple, orange, blackberry etc.
