Solution

The correct option is A plant specimens
Herbarium is a technique where the specimens of plants are preserved on sheets by first collecting them, drying, and then pressing on sheets. The specimens, along with their descriptions on herbarium sheets, become a store house or repository for future use. The herbarium sheets also carry a label providing information about date and place of collection, English, local and botanical names, family, collector’s name, etc.
