The correct option is **2. via vegetative reproduction**.
Potatoes reproduce vegetatively through tubers, while certain types of bacteria can reproduce asexually and can also form structures similar to vegetative reproduction, although the term is not typically applied to bacteria. Bacteria primarily reproduce through binary fission, which is a different method of reproduction. Therefore, vegetative reproduction is the closest commonality in this context.
