Solution

The correct option is B couplet
Key is another taxonomical aid used for identification of plants and animals based on the similarities and dissimilarities. The keys are based on the contrasting characters generally in a pair called couplet. Each statement in the key is called a lead.

Flora and monographs are some other means of recording descriptions. Flora contains the actual account of habitat and distribution of plants of a given area. While monographs contain information on any one taxon.
