fission
B
budding
C
cloning
D
regeneration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from a part of a parent plant. Vegetative reproduction usually involves structures such as the roots, the stems, and the leaves of plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two types of proliferation modes in nature: sexual and asexual, and regeneration is a form of asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vegetative propagation does not need seeds or spores. Instead, offspring grow from a part of the parent plant. In different plants, vegetative propagation happens in different ways.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents. As you can see from Figure below, in sexual reproduction, parents produce reproductive cells-called gametes-that unite to form an offspring.

Detailed explanation-5: -Regeneration occurs via mitosis. Lizards can regenerate their tails, star fish can regenerate their arms while humans have the ability to regenerate their liver to a certain extent. Parthenogenesis is the process by which an unfertilized egg transforms into a fully function organism.
