- turmeric
- carrot
ginger
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Vernalization stimulates flowering in carrots. Vernalization is the process in which plants utilize the cold months to promote flowering. Carrot is a biennial plant that needs a stimulus of low temperatures for flowering. During the warm seasons, it remains vegetative and bears flowers and fruits only during the winter period. Low-temperature treatments are given to young plants or seedlings that are well hydrated. This technique allows the vegetative phase of the plant to be blocked this facilitates early flowering.
The site where the flowering is initiated is the metabolically active apical meristems. Young tender leaves are more susceptible to this process. Low-temperature stimulus is received by the shoot apex of the mature stems or embryo of the seeds.
