A spider plant sends out runners that have buds. When planted, the bud grows into a mature plant. The resulting plant has one parent and is genetically identical to the parent.

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Reproduction is of two types one is sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. The asexual reproduction mostly involves only one parent and therefore the off spring that is born is genetically identical with the parent.

whereas in sexual reproduction that involves 2 parents the off spring born contains a genetic makeup that is a combination of 2 parents and thereby not genetically identical.
