The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the opening or blooming of a flower, we need to analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes the opening or blooming of a flower. 2. **Evaluating Option (a) Anthesis**: - Anthesis is defined as the period during which a flower is fully open and functional. It involves the blooming of the flower bud, which is the main focus of the question. - During anthesis, several processes occur, including the extension of the style, maturation of the stamens, and color changes in the flower. 3. **Evaluating Option (b) Maturation of Embryo**: - This refers to the process of embryogenesis, where the embryo develops and matures. This does not relate to the blooming of a flower, so it is not the correct answer. 4. **Evaluating Option (c) Pollination**: - Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the male reproductive structures to the female reproductive structures. While it is an important process in the life cycle of a plant, it does not describe the blooming of a flower. 5. **Evaluating Option (d) Dehiscence of Anther Lobes**: - Dehiscence refers to the splitting open of the anther to release pollen grains. This is a process that occurs after the flower has bloomed, so it does not describe the blooming itself. 6. **Conclusion**: After evaluating all options, the correct answer is **(a) anthesis**, as it directly refers to the opening or blooming of a flower. ### Final Answer: The opening or blooming of the flower is known as **(a) anthesis**.
