Answer:
A. Correct answer is b. Decay.
B. Correct answer is c. Botanical Garden.
C. Correct answer is c. Irritability.
Explanation:
A. Decay is basically the rotting or the decomposition through the action of "bacteria and fungi". So if the being is living, there is no chance of decay, whereas a living being can grow, reproduce and also perform metabolism.
B. To study a particular plant which is "strictly seasonal plant", a botanical garden is the best suited option. An establishment where plants are "grown for scientific study" and "display" to the public is known as "botanical garden". These gardens are widely utilised for the collection, cultivation, study and research and preservation and display of a wide variety of plants.
C. "Irritability" is the "excitatory ability" that living organisms have to "respond to the changes" in their environment. So if the cockroaches are alive, they will show some kind of actions, which are generally irritations in response to the poking.
