GPT-4o mini · Answer

The statement that best describes why one method might be more beneficial than the other is: "Sexual reproduction provides genetic variation to plants to help them survive in a changing environment."

This is because sexual reproduction mixes the genes of two parent plants, leading to offspring with diverse traits, which can enhance their ability to adapt to environmental changes and challenges. Asexual reproduction, while efficient in stable environments, does not provide this genetic diversity.
