The correct answer to the question "How is jasmine plant propagated?" is option 2, which is layering.

Layering is the process of taking a low-growing branch of a mature jasmine plant and encouraging it to produce roots while still attached to the parent plant. This can be done by gently bending the branch to the ground and securing it in place with a small stake or rock. Once the branch is in contact with the soil, it can develop roots at the point where it touches the ground. After a sufficient amount of time, the rooted branch can be cut away from the parent plant and planted in its own pot or in the ground.

Grafting, option 1, is another method of propagation, but it is not typically used for jasmine plants. Grafting involves joining a cutting from one plant (the scion) with the rooted portion of another plant (the rootstock) to create a new plant with desirable traits.

Option 3, root cutting, involves taking a section of the root system of a jasmine plant and using it to grow a new plant. However, this method is less common and can be more challenging than other methods.

Option 4, stem cutting, is a widely used method of propagation for many plants, including jasmine. It
