Solution

The correct option is B Keys
Keys help in identification of plants and animals. In a key there are two opposite terms that form a couplet. If one is selected the other automatically is rejected. The key follows this pattern till a set sequence of taxa is reached.
So, the correct answer is 'Keys'
