What is Photoperiod as it relates to plants?
A
How much dark the plants get
B
How much light the plant gets
C
Both of the above
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photoperiodism is the response of plants to light and dark periods. Certain plants require a specific combination of light and dark periods to initiate flowering. The relative duration of the light and dark periods is important for certain physiological reactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The photoperiod, which is the length of the light period in the diurnal cycle of 24 h, is an important environmental signal. Plants have evolved sensitive mechanisms to measure the length of the photoperiod.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photoperiod is an environmental cue linked to several seasonal developmental processes in plants, including the initiation of both reproductive and vegetative organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is the duration of time during the day when an organism receives sunlight. Sunlight is essential for the growth of plants. So, in places that receive sunlight for a longer duration, trees grow faster.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photoperiodism is one of the most significant and complex aspects of the interaction between plants and their environment. It is defined as plant responses to daylength, enabling living organisms to adapt to seasonal changes.
