The correct option is B Height of the plant

The Herbarium is a collection of preserved plants that are stored, cataloged, and arranged systematically for study.

Thus, helping in the understanding of plant diversity, conservation, and sustainable use. The Herbarium is a collection of preserved plants that are stored, cataloged, and arranged systematically for study. It does not carry information on plant height.

So, the correct answer is 'Height of the plant'.
