Answer 1

Answer:

A single lily bulb once planted becomes a large colony of identical lilies in three summers.

Explanation:

Vegetative reproduction is possible only in plants. So the first and last option may become true. But ferns reproduce by spores, which is not a vegetative reproduction because vegetative reproduction takes place through any other part of the plant such as stem, leaf, etc. Seeds are not categorised under vegetative reproduction. So option (d) is the correct answer.
