D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction. Vegetative reproduction is considered asexual reproduction because, in this biological process, the vegetative part of the parent plants (root, stem, leaf etc.) are preserved and propagated to produce a new individual.

Detailed explanation-2: -All organisms multiply or reproduce their own kind. In plants there are two modes of reproduction, asexual and sexual. There are several methods of asexual reproduction such as fragmentation, budding, spore formation and vegetative propagation. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction in which the offspring produced is exactly similar to the parent. Also, neither there is formation of two different gametes, nor there is an involvement of two different sexes. In case of unicellular organisms, mitosis is a mode of asexual reproduction.
