To determine which flower has a beak, we can analyze the options given and the characteristics of each type of flower. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a flower with a beak. A flower with a beak typically has a tubular corolla that extends outward, resembling a beak. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Rosaceae**: This family includes many flowers, but they typically do not have a beak-like structure. Instead, they often have scented corollas. - **Spude**: This option refers to flowers that have a tubular corolla which can develop an extension resembling a beak. These flowers often contain nectar in this beak-like structure, making them attractive to pollinators. - **Ornithophilus**: This term refers to flowers that are adapted for pollination by birds. While they may have certain adaptations, it does not specifically indicate a beak-like structure. - **Ornithochorus**: This term relates to seed disposal by birds. It does not pertain to the structure of the flower itself. 3. **Identifying the Correct Option**: Based on the analysis, the flower that has a beak is **Spude**, as it is characterized by a tubular corolla that resembles a beak and contains nectar. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Spude**.
