C
time consuming
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Micropropagation requires trained manpower, sophisticated facilities, and expensive materials which make it a pricey technique. Contamination is the major problem of micropropagation. Some forms of cultures have the problem of pronounced genetic variability. More items •05-Jan-2021

Detailed explanation-2: -Micropropagation technology is more expensive than the conventional methods of plant propagation, and requires several types of skills. It is a capital-intensive industry, and in some cases the unit cost per plant becomes unaffordable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unfortunately, tissue culture is labor intensive, time consuming, and can be costly.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tissue Culture can require more labor and cost more money. There is a chance that the propagated plants will be less resilient to diseases due to the type of environment they are grown in.

Detailed explanation-5: -Disadvantages. Micropropagation may appear to be the perfect means of multiplying plants, but it has associated problems: It is very expensive, and can have a labour cost of more than 70% An infected plant sample can produce infected progeny.
