Bryophyllum produces new plant through:

The NCERT chapter states: "buds produced in the notches along the leaf margin of Bryophyllum fall on the soil and develop into new plants" (Section 7.2.5, Fig. 7.5). This is a classic example of vegetative propagation through leaves.

• (A) Apical buds formed on the tip of the plant — incorrect. Bryophyllum's reproductive buds are not apical (tip) buds; they arise specifically in the notches along the leaf margin, not at the plant's growing tip.
• (B) Vegetative buds produced in the notches of the leaf — correct. This exactly matches the text: buds form in the leaf-margin notches, fall to the soil, and grow into new independent plants.
• (C) Flowers produced in the notches of the branches — incorrect. This confuses vegetative (bud) propagation with sexual reproduction via flowers; Bryophyllum's propagation here is asexual, and the structures are on leaves, not branches.
• (D) Fruits formed on the branches of the plant — incorrect. Fruits result from sexual reproduction (fertilised ovary) and are irrelevant to Bryophyllum's characteristic vegetative propagation method.
