The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding Adhesion**: The term "adhesion" in the context of flowers refers to the tendency of different (dissimilar) parts of the flower to unite or stick together on their surfaces. 2. **Identifying the Correct Definition**: Adhesion specifically pertains to the union of dissimilar parts. This is crucial in understanding how various structures within a flower, such as petals, sepals, and reproductive organs, can be connected. 3. **Distinguishing Between Adhesion and Cohesion**: It is important to differentiate between adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion refers to the union of similar parts, while adhesion refers to the union of dissimilar parts. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - The first option states "union of dissimilar parts," which aligns with the definition of adhesion. - The second option states "union of similar parts," which is incorrect as it describes cohesion. - The third option states "aggregation of similar parts," which is also incorrect and relates to cohesion. - The fourth option states "aggregation of dissimilar parts," which is somewhat related but not as precise as the first option. 5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate answer to the question "Adhesion in a flower is" is the first option: "union of dissimilar parts." ---
