B Correct answer
Explanation

Bryophyllum reproduces vegetatively through its leaves. The leaf margins have notches that contain adventitious buds, which can develop into complete plantlets. When these leaves fall on moist soil, each bud can grow into an independent plant. This is why Bryophyllum is commonly used to demonstrate vegetative propagation in biology classes. Roots, stems, and flowers are not the primary vegetative propagation organs for this plant.
