B Correct answer
Explanation

Sugar cane propagation is through stem cuttings of immature canes 8-12 months old. These are called setts, seed, seed- cane or seed-pieces. The setts are best if taken from the upper third of the cane because the buds are younger and less likely to dry out. The setts can be planted at a 45 degree angle or laid horizontally in a furrow.
