The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given plants is a petroplant, we need to understand what a petroplant is. A petroplant is a plant that produces a significant amount of latex containing long-chain hydrocarbons, which can be used in the production of petroleum. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Petroplant**: - A petroplant is a plant that produces latex rich in hydrocarbons, similar to petroleum. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **(a) Cicer arietinum**: Commonly known as chickpea, this plant does not produce latex and is not used in petroleum production. - **(b) Beta vulgaris**: Known as beetroot, this plant also does not produce latex and is not associated with petroleum production. - **(c) Euphobia lathyrus**: This plant belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family and produces a type of latex known as terpenoids, which are similar to hydrocarbons found in petroleum. - **(d) Solanum tuberosum**: Known as potato, this plant does not produce latex and is not a petroplant. 3. **Identify the Correct Answer**: - Based on the analysis, **Euphobia lathyrus** (option c) is the only plant that qualifies as a petroplant because it produces latex that can be used in the production of petroleum. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **(c) Euphobia lathyrus**. ---
