A
Asexual
B
Sexual
C
Both
D
Neither
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reproduction in plants takes place sexually and asexually as well. But the majority of the flowering plants reproduce sexually. The flower is the reproductive part of a plant i.e., both male and female gametes are produced by flowers. Sexual reproduction in plants takes place in flowers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many plant species have two reproductive modes: sexual and asexual reproduction. For example, most of the perennial clonal plants possess the capacity for both sexual reproduction through seeds and asexual reproduction through vegetative propagation (Klimes et al. 1997).

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant reproduction is the production of plant offspring, which happens either sexually or asexually. Asexual reproduction produces a genetic clone of the original plant, whereas sexual reproduction occurs by the fusion of gametes, producing offspring that are genetically unique from the parent plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants have two main types of asexual reproduction: vegetative reproduction and apomixis. Vegetative reproduction results in new plant individuals without the production of seeds or spores. Many different types of roots exhibit vegetative reproduction. The corm is used by gladiolus and garlic.
