Answer: 2. In potato, banana and ginger, the plantlets arise from the internodes present in the modified stem.

In potato, banana and ginger the new plantlets arise from nodes (eyes/buds) of the modified stem, not from internodes. So statement 2 is wrong.

  • Zoospores are microscopic motile asexual spores: correct.
  • Water hyacinth depletes oxygen causing fish death ("terror of Bengal"): correct.
  • Asexual offspring are clones: correct.
