Model Answer

Option A — Sugarcane, roses, grapes.

These plants are specifically mentioned as examples grown by vegetative propagation for agricultural purposes.

Source: Chapter 7, Section 7.2.5 Vegetative Propagation

Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "methods such as layering or grafting to grow many plants like sugarcane, roses, or grapes." Mustard reproduces by seeds (sexual reproduction), so any option containing mustard is incorrect. Potato shows vegetative propagation too (Activity 7.5), but it is not listed in the main text alongside sugarcane and roses — Option A directly matches the textbook's wording.
