The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the information provided and identify the correct method of plant cultivation described in the question. 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question states that plants can be cultivated in a soil-less medium where all required nutrients are supplied from the outside in a water solution. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The key terms here are "soil-less medium," "nutrients supplied from the outside," and "water solution." These terms suggest a method of growing plants without traditional soil, using water as the primary medium for nutrient delivery. 3. **Evaluating Options**: - **Aeroponics**: This method involves growing plants in air or a mist environment, with very little water. It does not primarily use water as the medium. - **Hydroponics**: This method involves growing plants in a water solution where all necessary nutrients are dissolved. It fits the description in the question perfectly. - **Hybrid Culture**: This refers to the breeding of plants to create hybrids, which is unrelated to the cultivation method described. - **Critical Culture Medium**: This is a laboratory term referring to a nutrient medium with a short shelf life, not a method of growing plants in water. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of the options, the method described in the question is best identified as hydroponics, where plants are grown in a nutrient-rich water solution. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **Option B: Hydroponics**.

All 50 states have legislation regarding pool safely, the majority of which includes a requirement for safely fence around the perimeter of the top of an in-ground pool. If a rectangular in-ground pool has a length that is 2 feet less than twice its width, and the area of the top of the pool is 480 square feet, how many linear feet of fencing are required, assuming the fence is placed 1 foot from the edge of the water on all sides?

Redox equations are balanced either by ion-electron method or by oxidation number method. Both methods lead to the correct from of the balanced equation. The ion electron methodd has two advantages. So some chemists prefer to use the ion-electron method for redox reactions carried out in dilute aqueous solutions, where free ions have more or less independent existance. The oxidation state method for redox reactions is mostly used for solid chemicals or for reactions in concentrated acid media. For the reaction K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]rarrFe^(3+)+CO_(2)+NO_(3)^(ө) the n -factor is

Students in a school listened to the news read in the morning assembly that the mountain of garbage in Delhi, suddenly exploded and variouos vehicals got buried under it. Several people were also injured and there was traffic jam all around. In the brain storming session the teacher also discussed this issue and asked the students to find out a solution to the problem of garbage. Finally they arrived at two main points - one is self management of the garbage we produce and the second is to generate less garbage at individual level. (a) Suggest to measures to manage the garbage we produce. (b) As an individual, what can we do to generate the least garbage ? Give two points.
