The correct answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

A potato is basically a tuber which can be used to produce a new plant. It is an asexual reproduction that involves the underground parts of the plant.

Usually, a piece of potato which has one or two eyes is planted and a new plant grows out of it. When potatoes are stored for a long period of time, eyes begin to sprout out which form stem and roots of the plant.
