Solution

The correct option is A 29×42 cms
An herbarium is a collection of dried plant specimens carefully preserved and labelled. Plant collections are essential for taxonomic researchers because they serve as voucher specimens. They also help to identify the family, genus and species. Once mounted and deposited in the herbarium, the collections are referred to as herbarium specimens.
Mounting is the process by which a specimen is attached to a herbarium sheet and a label affixed to the lower right corner. Specimens are mounted on sheets of standard size herbarium paper 29 x 42 cm.
So, the correct answer is option A.
