Solution
The correct option is B Short day
When the plant is given 12 hours day light and 12 hours darkness, and then night phase interrupted by flash of light; a short day plant cannot flower. It is because, these plants can flower only when the day lengths are shorter than their critical day length. Example: Poinsettia critical day length is 10 hours.
