Options

Correct answer

C. meristem culture

Step-by-step solution

Virus free plants can be generated through meristem culture. Cultivation of axillary or apical shoot meristems is called meristem culture. The apical and axillary meristems of the infected plant is virus free because rate of division of meristematic cells is higher than the rate at which virus multiplies hence virus cannot invade newly formed meristematic cell.
