A
a type of sexual propagation
B
a type of hybridization
C
a method by which two plants are propagated
D
a method of joining two parts of two different plants
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Grafting and budding are horticultural techniques used to join parts from two or more plants so that they appear to grow as a single plant. In grafting, the upper part (scion) of one plant grows on the root system (rootstock ) of another plant. In the budding process, a bud is taken from one plant and grown on another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Grafting is the act of joining two plants together. The upper part of the graft (the scion) becomes the top of the plant, the lower portion (the understock) becomes the root system or part of the trunk. Although grafting usually refers to joining only two plants, it may be a combination of several.

Detailed explanation-3: -Grafting is a method of asexual plant propagation that joins plant parts from different plants together so they will heal and grow as one plant. This technique is used to propagate plants that do not root well from cuttings, to utilize superior root systems, or to maintain clonal production.

Detailed explanation-4: -Grafting or graftage is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion (/ˈsaɪən/) while the lower part is called the rootstock.

Detailed explanation-5: -The trick to creating a multiple fruit-bearing tree is to graft several compatible varieties or species onto the same rootstock. This is easiest when using bud grafting, since the rootstock experiences less shock. characteristics is determined by the species of fruit trees you wish to graft together.
