Find the set that correctly matches the plants in column A with the mode of asexual reproduction which they exhibit :

Column AColumn B
(a) Rose(i) Budding
(b) Yeast(ii) Spore formation
(c) Ferns(iii) Fragmentation
(d) Spirogyra(iv) Pollination
(v) Vegetative propagation

  • A.(a)-(v), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)
  • B.(a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(v), (d)-(iii)
  • C.(a)-(v), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)
  • D.(a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)

Answer: A

The correct matching is (a)-(v), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii).

  • Rose: vegetative propagation, by stem cuttings.
  • Yeast: budding, a small bud growing from the parent cell.
  • Ferns: spore formation.
  • Spirogyra: fragmentation, the filament breaking into pieces that each grow.

Pollination is not a mode of asexual reproduction at all; it is a step in sexual reproduction, so options matching any plant to pollination are wrong, and option C swaps the yeast and Spirogyra methods.
