Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Suckers are aboveground shoots that emerge from adventitious buds on the roots of a plant. These can lead to the formation of new plants genetically identical to the parent, contributing to vegetative propagation and sometimes considered a nuisance in gardening and farming due to their potential to create dense thickets.
