C.

If assertion is true but reason is false

A clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it. Plants that are able to propagate by asexual means produce genetically identical plants that are clones. Many unicellular organisms, such as bacteria and yeasts, are clones of parent cells generated by either binary fission or budding. The body cells of plants and animals are clones ultimately derived from the mitosis (cell reproduction) of a single fertilized egg. More narrowly, a clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it.
