The correct Answer is:
To determine which flower exhibits radial symmetry, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Radial Symmetry Radial symmetry refers to a body plan in which parts are arranged around a central axis. In flowers, this means that the flower can be divided into equal halves by any vertical plane passing through the center. ### Step 2: Analyze the Options We have four options to consider: - (a) Pisum - (b) Cassia - (c) Brassica - (d) Trifolium ### Step 3: Identify the Flower with Radial Symmetry - **Pisum**: This flower does not exhibit radial symmetry; it has bilateral symmetry. - **Cassia**: This flower also does not exhibit radial symmetry; it is typically bilaterally symmetrical. - **Brassica**: Brassica flowers exhibit radial symmetry, meaning they can be divided into equal parts by multiple vertical planes. They are classified as actinomorphic flowers. - **Trifolium**: This flower does not exhibit radial symmetry; it is also bilaterally symmetrical. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the analysis, the flower that exhibits radial symmetry is **Brassica**. ### Final Answer (c) Brassica ---
