Explanation

The passage states that roses are grown using vegetative propagation methods like layering or grafting, which involve stem cuttings — not roots. Potato propagates via stem (tuber), Bryophyllum via leaf buds, and Money-plant via stem. Examiners expect you to identify the wrong pair directly and give a one-line justification.
