Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in plants. Different types of roots and shoots such as rhizome, bulb, tuber are capable of vegetative propagation. Figure P is ginger that reproduces vegetatively by an underground stem called rhizome. Figure R is spirogyra, algae. It reproduces vegetatively by the process of fragmentation. Figure S is hydra. It reproduces asexually by the process of budding. Figure Q is of a flower. Flowering plants show sexual mode of reproduction.

Incorrect option: b)Q reproduces asexually by buds on its leaves
Explanation:
P reproduces vegetatively by underground stem called rhizome:
- P is shown in the figure and it reproduces vegetatively by underground stem called rhizome.
- Rhizomes are horizontal underground stems that grow parallel to the surface of the soil.
- They have nodes and internodes, and at the nodes, buds and roots emerge.
- These buds can develop into new plants, allowing P to reproduce asexually.
R reproduces by the process of fragmentation:
- R is shown in the figure and it reproduces by the process of fragmentation.
- Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction where a parent organism breaks into fragments, and each fragment develops into a new individual.
- In the case of R, when a part of it breaks off, it can grow into a new plant, thus reproducing asexually.
S reproduces by the process of budding:
- S is shown in the figure and it reproduces by the process of budding.
- Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where a small outgrowth or bud forms on the parent organism and develops into a new individual.
- In the case of S, buds form on its body, and these buds can detach and grow into new individuals, allowing S to reproduce asexually.
Therefore, the incorrect option is b)Q reproduces asexually by buds on its leaves:
- Q is not shown in the figure, so we cannot determine its method of reproduction based on the given information.
- Without any visual representation or information about Q, it is not possible to confirm whether it reproduces by buds on its leaves or not.
- Hence, option b) is incorrect as it cannot be determined from the given figures.
