Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding redwood trees? Vegetative reproduction has never been observed in redwoods. None of the answer options is correct. Asexual reproduction has been observed in redwoods; this process is very similar to the plantlet dispersal that mosses use to reproduce asexually. Redwoods can reproduce via vegetative reproduction, with new shoots appearing on fallen horizontal redwood trees. Similar to the quaking aspen, redwood trees undergo vegetative reproduction and form vast underground networks of horizontal stems.

Answer:

The correct option is this: REDWOOD CAN REPRODUCE VIA VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION WITH NEW SHOOTS APPEARING ON FALLING HORIZONTAL REDWOOD TREES.

Step-by-step explanation:

Redwood are valuable trees because of their attractiveness and light weight. They are also resistant to decay and fire. The plant exhibit both sexual and asexual reproduction but the sexual reproduction often results in low viability seeds. The plant reproduce asexually by sprouting from the crown or fallen branches.
