The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question describes a scenario where a cell from a leaf is cultured to grow into a complete plant. We need to identify the biological process that allows this to happen. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The options given are: - A) Cloning - B) Totipotency - C) Hybridization - D) All of the above 3. **Defining Totipotency**: Totipotency refers to the ability of a single cell to divide and develop into a complete organism. In plants, this means that a single cell can give rise to all the different cell types needed to form a whole plant. 4. **Explaining the Process**: - When a leaf cell is cultured, it can form an undifferentiated mass of cells known as callus. - The growth hormone auxin is used to promote root formation. - Cytokinins are then applied to stimulate cell division and differentiation, leading to the formation of various plant structures including stems and leaves. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the process described involves a single leaf cell growing into a complete plant, it exemplifies the concept of totipotency. Therefore, the correct answer is **B) Totipotency**. ---
