Correct answer: C. Both (A) and (B)

  • A. Cuttings
  • B. Tissues culture
  • C. Both (A) and (B)
  • D. Alternation of generation

Explanation

Yes, this is correct. Taking cuttings is a common method of artificial or human-assisted asexual reproduction in plants. This process involves removing a portion of a plant, typically a stem, leaf, or root, and encouraging it to develop roots and grow into a new individual. The new plant produced through this method is genetically identical to the parent, as it is a clone. Tissue culture, also known as micropropagation or in vitro propagation, is an artificial method of asexual reproduction in plants. This technique involves the cultivation of plant cells, tissues, or organs in a controlled laboratory environment, using a nutrient-rich medium. The goal is to stimulate the growth and development of these plant materials into complete plants.
