Define plant tissue culture?
A
Tissue taken from its original site and transferred to an artificial medium for growth or maintenance
B
The growing of plant cells, tissues, organs, seeds or other plant parts on a nutrient medium under sterile condition
C
Culturing non-human animals through socially transmitted behaviors
D
Farming systems which include the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other continual inputs, genetically modified organisms
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant tissue culture is defined as culturing plant seeds, organs, explants, tissues, cells, or protoplasts on a chemically defined synthetic nutrient media under sterile and controlled conditions of light, temperature, and humidity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tissue culture involves the use of small pieces of plant tissue (explants) which are cultured in a nutrient medium under sterile conditions. Using the appropriate growing conditions for each explant type, plants can be induced to rapidly produce new shoots, and, with the addition of suitable hormones new roots.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is Tissue Culture? Tissue culture is a technique in which fragments of plants are cultured and grown in a laboratory. Many times the organs are also used for tissue culture. The media used for the growth of the culture is broth and agar. This technique is also known as micropropagation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The stages of plant tissue culture are: selection/preparation (stage 0), initiation/establishment (stage 1), multiplication (stage 2), rooting (stage 3), and acclimatization/hardening (stage 4). A formulation for growth medium is selected based on which stage the plant is in or will be entering.

Detailed explanation-5: -Types of Plant tissue culture Seed Culture. Embryo Culture. Callus Culture. Organ Culture. Protoplast Culture.
