D
The spider plant
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dahlias reproduce asexually by use of bulbs, which are vegetative tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genuine bulbs include things like garlic, amaryllis, tulips, daffodils, and lilies.

Detailed explanation-3: -Daffodils can be propagated asexually by offsets, stem bulblets, and division of basal sections. Offsets, are bulbs grown from bulblets, which are miniature bulbs produced on the scales and stems of the parent bulb.

Detailed explanation-4: -Daffodils multiply in two ways: asexual cloning (bulb division) where exact copies of the flower will result, and sexually (from seed) where new, different flowers will result. Seeds develop in the seed pod (ovary), the swelling just behind the flower petals.

Detailed explanation-5: -Daffodils, also known by their botanical name narcissus, are easy and reliable spring-flowering bulbs. They multiply quickly and return to bloom again each spring, year after year. They are not fussy about soil, will grow in sun or part shade and are not bothered by deer, rabbits and other pesky critters.
