Solution

The correct option is B Cabbage
Vernalisation is defined as the qualitative or quantitative dependence of plants on exposure to a low temperature to flower. Temperature affects flowering, metabolic activities, and germination of seeds in plants. The cabbages (Brassica oleracea spp.) are known to have to reach a certain minimum age before they can be made to flowering by cold. In other words, they must pass a 'juvenile phase' before flowering can be induced.
So, the correct option is 'Cabbage'.
