• B. Botanical gardens have collection of living plants for reference
• C. A museum has collection of photographs of plants and animals
• D. Key is a taxonomic aid for identification of specimens

Answer 1

The correct option is C A museum has collection of photographs of plants and animals

A botanical garden is a living plant collection that is primarily used to highlight links between plant groups. They provide facilities for collecting living plant material for biosystematic studies and serve as reservoirs of valuable heritable features that could be useful in the development of novel plant types.

A herbarium is a repository of preserved plant specimens as well as information about them.
The dried plants are conserved, tagged, and organised in a logical order for scientific and evolutionary research.

The booklet carrying a list of traits and their alternatives that aid in the identification of diverse species is referred to as a key.
There are two different kinds of keys: the indented and a bracketed key.

A museum is a site where cultural, religious, and historical artefacts are collected, preserved, and made available to the public for educational and recreational purposes.
Museums of many types, including general museums, science and technology museums, art museums, and history museums, can be found all over the world.

Thus the Correct option is (C)
