Gootee is a vegetative form of plant multiplication in which the roots of aerial stems are allowed to develop while they are linked to the parent plant. Thus, gootee is also known as air layering.

During the rainy season, this approach is commonly used for vegetative growth of lemon, orange, guava, and litchi. A healthy and woody branch is chosen for this operation, and the bark is cut off in a ring shape of around 3−5 cm in length.Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
