• B. Landscape and nursery industry
• C. Pomology
• D. Olericulture

Answer: (B)

The landscape and nursery industry describes the field that covers propagating, growing, installing, maintaining and using grasses, annual plants, shrubs and trees in the landscape. It isn’t limited to growing plants in a nursery; it also includes how those plants are designed into outdoor spaces, installed as landscapes, and cared for over time. Floriculture focuses on flowering ornamentals and cut flowers, pomology on fruit trees, and olericulture on vegetables. Because the description involves both producing the plants and applying them in landscape settings, the landscape and nursery industry is the best fit.
