The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Grafting is a techinque in which cambium bearing shoot (scion = graft) of one plant is joined to cambium bearing stump (root system = stock) of a related plant through different unions like tongue grafting, wedge grafting etc. In grafting union between stock and scion produces undifferentiated mass of cells called callus. Therefore, for union between stock and scion in grafting, first to occur is the formation of callus. Callus is more or less corky secondary tissue developed lay woody plants over a wound. It is derived from cambium.

Types of Reproduction:

There are two types of reproduction such as:

Asexual Reproduction:

It is the production an offspring by a single parent beyond the formation and fusion of gametes. The young one obtains all its genes from one parent, so are identical.

Sexual Reproduction:

Sexual reproduction is mostly biparental, includes the formation of meiosis gamete usually fertilization also, instigates genetic variation in the offspring, and plays a role in the evolution of species, found in higher plants and animals.
