Correct option is B
Option
(b) contains an error.
Explanation:
The phrase
"broken of" is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrase is
"broken off", where
"off" is a preposition indicating physical separation or detachment.
So, the corrected sentence should be:
"Any portion of the underground rhizome, when broken off, is capable of producing a new plant..."
Grammatical Rule Used:
Phrasal verbs often require a specific
preposition or adverb to complete their meaning.
Here,
"break off" means
to detach or separate a part from a whole.
Example:
· A branch
broke off in the storm.
