Answer 1

Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured or fresh leaves of an evergreen shrub native to East Asia. After water, it is the most widely consumed drink in the world.

Complete answer:
To answer this question, first, we need to know the scientific name of the tea plant. Camellia sinensis is a species of evergreen shrubs or small trees in the flowering plant family Theaceae whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea.
Now, let us find the solution from the option.
Camellia sinensis is a species of evergreen shrub or small tree, whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea. It belongs to the Camellia genus of flowering plants of Theaceae family. Usual names are like "tea tree", "tea plant" and "tea shrub". The type of tea that is created is determined only after processing the leaves by various methods.

Coffea arabica is also known as the Arabian coffee, "coffee shrub of Arabia", "mountain coffee" or "arabica coffee", is a species of Coffea.

Thus, the correct option is B. i.e. Sinensis.

Note: Green tea is produced from plant Camellia sinensis leaves and buds. All kinds of tea, excluding herbal tea, are made from the dried leaves of the Camellia sinensis shrub. The range of oxidation of the leaves refers to the kind of tea. Green tea is composed of un-oxidized leaves and it is the minimum processed tea among the others.
