Solution
The correct option is C Both asexual and sexual
Reproduction in plants is of two types, sexual and asexual.
Sexual reproduction is the process of development of new organisms by the formation and fusion of gametes. In sexual reproduction new plants are obtained from seeds.
Production of offspring without the formation and fusion of gametes is known as asexual reproduction. Vegetative propagation, budding and spore formation are the types of asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction plants can give rise to new plants without seeds.
