The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Term "Herbarium":** - A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens. These specimens are typically dried and mounted on sheets for long-term storage and study. 2. **Evaluating the Options:** - **Option 1:** A garden where medicinal plants are grown. - This option is incorrect because a herbarium does not involve living plants; it consists of preserved specimens. - **Option 2:** A garden where herbaceous plants are grown. - This option is also incorrect as it describes a living garden, while a herbarium is a collection of dead or preserved specimens. - **Option 3:** A dry garden. - This option is somewhat closer because a herbarium does contain dried specimens. However, it is not a garden in the traditional sense but rather a scientific collection. - **Option 4:** A chemical that kills the plant. - This option is incorrect as a herbarium is not a chemical; it is a collection of preserved plants. 3. **Conclusion:** - After evaluating all options, the most accurate description of a herbarium is that it is a collection of preserved plant specimens, which can be associated with the idea of a "dry garden" since the specimens are dried and preserved. Therefore, the best answer among the given options is **Option 3: A dry garden.**
