Step-by-step explanation:
Solenostemon scutellarioides is commonly known as Coleus. It is a popular ornamental plant with highly variegated leaves of different shapes and sizes. The correct answer to the question is A) Coleus. It should not be confused with other houseplants like Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum), or Philodendron, which are different both morphologically and genetically.
Coleus is known for its easy propagation through stem cuttings. A portion of the stem containing nodes and internodes can be placed in moist soil or even just water to encourage rooting. This makes Coleus a favorable choice for gardeners looking to propagate new plants.
