The mode of reproduction incapable of producing clones is D) cross-pollination in corn plants. All other choices (budding in hydra, fragmentation in algae, runners in strawberry plants) are examples of asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, identical clones are produced. On the contrary, cross-pollination is an example of sexual reproduction which results in genetically different offspring.
