Select the correct option regarding this.

Options

A. Annual should be replaced by biennial.
B. Cold should not be replaced as it is correctly mentioned.
C. Black should be replaced by yellow and stems should be replaced by fruits.
D. Combing should be replaced by ginning.

Explanation

To solve the question based on the provided passage about the cotton plant, we will analyze each italicized word and determine if the statements related to them are correct or incorrect. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the solution:

### Step 1: Analyze the term "annual"
- The passage states that the cotton plant is an "annual" shrub.
- **Definition**: An annual plant completes its life cycle in one year.
- **Conclusion**: This statement is correct.

### Step 2: Analyze the term "cold"
- The passage mentions that the cotton plant grows best in a "cold" climate.
- **Fact Check**: Cotton plants actually thrive in warm climates, not cold.
- **Conclusion**: This statement is incorrect.

### Step 3: Analyze the term "Black"
- The passage states that "Black" soil is best suited for the cultivation of cotton.
- **Fact Check**: Black soil (also known as Regur soil) is indeed ideal for cotton cultivation.
- **Conclusion**: This statement is correct.

### Step 4: Analyze the term "stems"
- The passage refers to the "stems" of the cotton plant as cotton bolls.
- **Fact Check**: Cotton bolls are actually the fruit of the cotton plant, not the stems.
- **Conclusion**: This statement is incorrect.

### Step 5: Analyze the term "combing"
- The passage states that after picking, the fibers are separated from the seeds by a process called "combing."
- **Fact Check**: The correct process for separating cotton fibers from seeds is called "ginning," not combing.
- **Conclusion**: This statement is incorrect.

### Final Evaluation
Based on the analysis:
- The correct statements are about the cotton plant being annual and the suitability of black soil for its cultivation.
- The incorrect statements involve the climate preference (should be warm instead of cold), the identification of cotton bolls (should be fruits, not stems), and the method of fiber separation (should be ginning instead of combing).

### Answer Selection
From the options provided, the correct answer would be:
- The term "cold" should be replaced with "warm."
- The term "stems" should be replaced with "fruits."
- The term "combing" should be replaced with "ginning."

Thus, the correct option is the one that states these corrections.
