Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The inherent capacity of an organism to increase in numbers under ideal conditions is known as Reproductive potential.
It is the relative capacity of a species to reproduce itself under optimum conditions.
The reproductive success of plants is often the outcome of mutualistic and antagonistic plant-animal interactions.
Plants may reproduce asexually or sexually. In asexual reproduction, an entirely new plant arises that is genetically identical to the parent plant. In sexual reproduction, egg and sperm cells combine to form a new plant that is genetically distinct from the parent plants.
