Options
Herbarium
Museum
Botanical garden
Flower exhibition
Solution
Herbarium
Explanation:
A herbarium is the best option for studying a strictly seasonal plant in the laboratory because it allows for the preservation of plant specimens through pressing and drying. This ensures that the plant can be studied year-round, regardless of its growing season. Herbarium specimens retain all key morphological characteristics, enabling detailed botanical analysis. Additionally, it provides a permanent record, allowing researchers to access and examine the plant even when it is not naturally available.
