The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about Beta vulgaris and its classification regarding day length requirements for flowering. 2. **Identifying Beta vulgaris**: Beta vulgaris is commonly known as beetroot. This is important to note as it helps in understanding its growth requirements. 3. **Classifying Beta vulgaris**: The classification of plants based on their flowering response to day length includes: - Short Day Plants (SDP): Require longer periods of darkness to flower. - Long Day Plants (LDP): Require longer periods of light to flower. - Day Neutral Plants (DNP): Flower regardless of day length. - Intermediate Day Plants (IDP): Require specific light conditions that are in between short and long days. 4. **Determining the Type of Plant**: Beta vulgaris (beetroot) is classified as a Long Day Plant (LDP). This means it requires longer exposure to light (or shorter periods of darkness) for flowering. 5. **Examples of Other Plant Types**: - Short Day Plants: Examples include rice, tobacco, and cotton. - Long Day Plants: Examples include potato, radish, and sugar beet (which is another name for Beta vulgaris). - Day Neutral Plants: Examples include sunflower, cucumber, and tomato. - Intermediate Day Plants: These are not specifically mentioned in the question but are defined as plants that require conditions between short and long days. 6. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct classification for Beta vulgaris is that it is a Long Day Plant (LDP). ---
