Which category does this problem fall into? Prnoun reference?

OA is E

[blue44]

the subject is the 'madagaskar periwinkle' and not the derivative...'madagaskar periwinkle' is being cultivated...I think this falls under 'logical prediction'...not sure!

[amitansu]

Then 'E' should be the ans.I made a mistake by choosing 'C' earlier.

I also chose C. The surprising thing is when I look the ansers I am able to identify my mistake and reason out why it went wrong! But not when I am working on the problem . May be because I am using time constraints and Im in hurry of solving the quest quickly..

[amitansu]

This is the biggest drawback/weakness of mine !!
Many a times when i see a prob. be it's sc/rc or ds it so happens that on the nexxt attempt (i.e.) no timing constraint i get it absolutely right !!

In fact whenever i try to answer any query here on this forum i am timing myself to get rid of this weakness.Many answer/s that i post, takes more than 2 min or 1.5 for me.But i don't take that credit to myself even if i answer 'em correctly
