(c) Begonia

(d) Adiantum caudatum

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) Adiantum caudatum

To explain I would say: Adiantum caudatum is commonly known as walking fern. This is because their leaf tips form new plants when they come in contact with the soil. Others are an example of plants that reproduce by leaves. It forms buds on the notches and falls off when old enough to grow on its own. In begonia, the injured leaf grows into a new plant.
