Sporangiospores are non-motile spores produced inside the sporangia. They are generally dispersed by wind and germinate to produce new mycelium (e.g., Rhizopus, Mucor, etc.) In Chlamydomonas and Ulothrix, zoospores are formed.

In sexually reproduction organisms, the male gamete is called the antherozoid or sperm and the female gamete is known as the egg or ovum. They are not used for vegetative propagation.

Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Here, only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent. The new plant is genetically identical to the parent.
Micropropagation is the practice of rapidly multiplying stock plant material to produce a large number of progeny plants, using modern tissue culture methods.
Layering is a means of plant propagation, in which a portion of an aerial stem grows roots while still attached to the parent plant and then detaches as an independent plant.
Sowing is to scatter the seeds over the land for growth
So, the correct answer is 'Sowing'

Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent.
Almost all types of shoots and roots are capable of vegetative propagation, including, stems, basal shoots, tubers, rhizomes, stolons, corms, bulbs, and buds. In a few species, even leaves are involved in vegetative propagation. However, flowers are never involved in vegetative propagation.

If the plants lose their capacity to produce seed, the plant undergoes asexual reproduction through their vegetative parts like stem, leaf, branch, etc.

Ginger is an example of rhizome which is underground modification of the stem. The rhizome grows horizontally to the surface of the soil.
