Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Bush pepper is propagated by Plagiotropic shoots.Plagiotropic shoots (i.e. long above-ground stolons) are formed in the vegetative stage (late spring to autumn). Generative shoots are orthotropic; flowering usually starts in March and can continue until May.
Cuttings are raised mainly from runner shoots, though terminal shoots can also be used. However, rooted lateral branches are useful for raising bush pepper.
