C. Rose
D. Jasmine

Answer 1

Hint: Grafting or graftage is a horticultural process involving the combination of plant tissues to continue their joint growth. The upper portion is known as the combined plant's scion, while the rootstock is called the lower part. The development of the vascular tissues together is the performance of this joining and such joining is called inoculation. In the asexual propagation of plants commercially grown for horticultural and agricultural trade, the process is most widely used.

Complete answer:
During stem grafting, a traditional grafting procedure, a shoot of a selected, desired plant cultivar is grafted onto the stock of another kind. A dormant side bud is grafted in another traditional method called bud grafting on the stem of another stock plant and when it has been successfully inosculated, it is allowed to grow just above the newly grafted bud by pruning off the stem of the stock plant. For effective grafting to take place, the vascular cambium tissues of the stock and scion plants must be placed in contact with each other. Before the graft is removed, it is important to keep both tissues intact, normally for a period of a few weeks.
Efficient grafting permits only vascular contact between the grafted tissues to take place. Bud grafting (also called chip budding) uses a bud in place of a twig. Grafting roses is the most prevalent instance of bud grafting. In this process, a bud is removed from the parent plant, and under the bark of the stock plant stem from which the rest of the shoot has been cut, the base of the bud is inserted. Every additional bud that starts to grow from the stock plant's stem is removed. Examples: roses and fruit trees, peach-like. Budwood is a stick which, with many buds on it can be cut out and used for bud grafting. It is a common way of propagating citrus trees.
Hence, the correct answer is choice C, i.e., Rose.

Note: In the summer, bud grafting, or chip budding, is carried out between July and September so that the bud has enough of the growing season to regenerate into the rootstock, but it enters winter dormancy before it can spread. This means that it is possible to chip any rootstocks where spring bench grafts have failed, giving another shot at the success of propagation in the same year.
