From personal experience, you may have noticed that cut flowers placed in a vase with tap water continue to be "alive" for several days. What is thθ most likely explanation as to why these cut flowers don't immediately wither and die? O A. The plant can still take up water from the vase via an "evaporative pump," i.e. transpiration B. Cells in the flower petals continue to carry out photosynthesis. C. The tap water in the vase is an excellent source of nitrogen

flowers have the cell which are called meristem cells. meristem cells reproduce parts of a plant if cut off, aka the root, leave, stem etc. but i’m not sure if that’s the answer you were looking for
