Concept:Budding is a method of vegetative propagation used to get early flowering, disease resistance, and better survival under tough conditions.
Explanation:Budding is not done to make plants develop broader leaves for photosynthesis.

They are often more resistant to diseases.
They can also withstand adverse climatic conditions.
Therefore, the statement about broader leaves is the only one that is not a reason for budding.
Answer:D. develop broader leaves for photosynthesis
