The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Vernalization**: - Vernalization is a biological process where exposure to low temperatures induces flowering in certain plants. This process is crucial for plants that require a cold period to transition from the vegetative phase to the reproductive phase. 2. **Identifying the Process**: - The process involves treating seeds or young plants with low temperatures, which leads to the shortening of the vegetative phase and the initiation of flowering. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The question provides four options: zinzer, turmeric, zamekand, and carrot. We need to determine which of these plants can be stimulated to flower through vernalization. 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Zinzer**: Not typically associated with vernalization. - **Turmeric**: A tropical plant that does not require vernalization for flowering. - **Zamekand**: Not commonly known for vernalization. - **Carrot**: Known as a biennial plant that requires a period of cold (vernalization) to flower in its second year. 5. **Conclusion**: - Among the given options, carrot is the only plant that vernalization effectively stimulates to flower. Therefore, the correct answer is **carrot**.
