Q. In which one pair both the plants can be vegetatively propagated by leaf pieces ?

B) Chrysanthemum and Agave
C) Agave and Kalanchoe
D) Asparagus and Bryophyllum
Explanation
[Solution from source] Bryophyllum and Kalanchoe (closely related succulents) grow adventitious buds from notches on the leaf margin, so a leaf piece can give rise to new plants. Agave reproduces by bulbils, Chrysanthemum by suckers and Asparagus by its root system, not by leaves. Answer (1).
