Answer 1

Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect.

Explanation:

While budding involves inserting a single bud from a desired plant into another plant (rootstock), it's not a general rule that the stem used in artificial propagation contains only one bud. Some methods may use parts with more than one bud, and "budding" specifically refers to a bud grafting technique.
