Solution

The correct option is B China Rose
The flowers of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (China rose) are edible and are used in salads in the Pacific Islands. The flower is additionally used in hair care as a preparation. It is also used to shine shoes in certain parts of India. It can also be used as a pH indicator. When used, the flower turns acidic solutions to a dark pink or magenta color and basic solutions to green.
In Indonesia, these flowers are called as kembang sepatu, which literally means shoe flower.
Red shoe polish is not obtained from China jute, Indian rose and Gul-e-khaira. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
