Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Bryophyllum
1. Vegetative propagation uses vegetative parts such as root, stem, leaf or bud.
2. Potato uses the 'eyes' on its tuber, while sugarcane and grasses use buds on nodes.
3. Bryophyllum is the one that propagates from buds along the leaf margin.
4. The others propagate by tuber or node buds, so they are ruled out.
