Budding is the chief mode of reproduction in :

  • A.Pipewarts
  • B.Stonewarts
  • C.Bladderwarts
  • D.Duckweeds

Answer: D

Budding is the chief mode of reproduction in duckweeds.

Duckweeds (Lemna, Spirodela, Wolffia) are tiny floating flowering plants that rarely flower. They multiply mainly by vegetative budding: new fronds grow out from pouches at the base of the parent frond and break away, letting a population double in a few days.

Pipeworts (Eriocaulon), stoneworts (the green alga Chara) and bladderworts (Utricularia), spelt with '-warts' in the paper, reproduce mainly by seeds, oospores or fragmentation and are not known for budding.
