sexually with a different genotype from the parent plant

asexually with the same genotype as the parent plant

sexually with the same genotype as the parent plant

Answer Details

The new plant reproduced asexually with the same genotype as the parent plant. This process is called vegetative propagation, where a new plant is produced from a vegetative part of the parent plant (in this case, a stem) without the involvement of gametes or fertilization. The new plant is essentially a clone of the parent plant and has the same genetic makeup.
