Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The best method of vegetative propagation in Aonla is Patch budding. Patch budding is an easy grafting technique that can be used to either replace or add a new fruit variety to an existing tree.
A budding operation is performed on one-year-old aonla rootstock. In this method, a rectangular patch of bark is removed completely from the rootstock (25 mm long and 10 - 15 mm wide) and replaced with a patch of the bark of the same size containing a bud of the desired cultivar (scion).
