• A. Botanical garden
• B. National parks
• C. Museum
• D. Herbaria

Answer 1

The correct option is D Herbaria

A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens. It gives the permanent record of plant specimen. These specimens may be whole plants or plant parts. These are in a dried form mounted on a sheet. The specimens are stored with a data label. Herbariums are essential for the study of plant taxonomy, the study of geographic distributions and the stabilizing of nomenclature. Herbaria may also be a repository of viable seeds for rare species.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
