Model Answer

(B) Vegetative buds produced in the notches of the leaf

Explanation

The textbook (Section 7.2.5) explicitly states that buds produced in the notches along the leaf margin of Bryophyllum fall on the soil and develop into new plants. This is vegetative propagation. Eliminate other options: apical buds, flowers, and fruits are not involved in this process.
