The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Drosophila**: Drosophila, commonly known as the fruit fly, is a model organism extensively used in genetic research. It is not a plant but an insect. 2. **Identifying the Context**: The question asks about the "Drosophila of the plant kingdom." This implies looking for a plant that serves a similar role in research as Drosophila does in animal studies. 3. **Recognizing Model Organisms**: In plant biology, a well-known model organism is Arabidopsis thaliana. It is often used for genetic and developmental studies due to its simple genome and short life cycle. 4. **Comparing Options**: The options provided include: - A) Arabidopsis thaliana - B) Aspergillus - C) Maize - D) Not all of the above 5. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: Since Arabidopsis thaliana is the plant that serves a similar purpose to Drosophila in genetic research, the correct answer is A) Arabidopsis thaliana. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the Drosophila of the plant kingdom is Arabidopsis thaliana. ---
