Answer:

C. Stem cuttings

Read Explanation:

  • New plants are obtained from the stem by the cutting method.

  • In this method, the small part of stem is removed by making a cut with a sharp knife.

  • The stem cutting must have some buds on it.

  • Now the lower end of stem cutting is buried in the moist soil.

  • The upper part of cutting having bud on it, is kept above the soil. After few days, this cutting develops new roots.

  • The bud grows and produces a shoot (i.e. branches with leaves).

  • Thus, a new plant is produced which is exactly similar to the parent plant,

  • e.g. rose, champa, grapes, sugarcane, banana, cactus, etc.
