The correct Answer is:
A
Arabidiopsis thaliana (cruciferae) is called Drosophila of plant kingdom. It is the first plant to have its entire genome sequenced. It is also known as wall cress, mouse-ear cress or thale cress. A big advantage of this plant in genetic studies is very small size of its genome.
