The correct answer is C) Leaves,
[A] Root: The root of a plant is the underground part of the plant that absorbs water and nutrients from the soil. Roots are not typically used for making tea.
[B] Flower: The flower is the reproductive part of the plant that produces seeds. Some herbal teas such as chamomile tea are made from the flowers of the plant, but this is not the case for tea made from Camellia Sinensis.
[C] Leaves: The leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant are used for making tea. These leaves contain caffeine and other compounds that give tea its unique flavor and health benefits. Different types of tea like black, green, oolong and white tea are made from the same plant leaves but are processed differently.
[D] Stem: The stem is the part of the plant that supports the leaves and flowers, and transports water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. Stems are not typically used for making tea.
The correct answer is C) Leaves.
The leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) are used for making tea. The leaves contain the highest concentration of the chemical compounds that give tea its flavor and aroma, including caffeine, tannins, and essential oils.
A) The root of the tea plant is not used for making tea as it does not contain the chemical compounds found in the leaves.
B) The flowers of the tea plant are not typically used for making tea, but some teas like jasmine tea are made by adding jasmine flowers to the tea leaves.
D) The stem of the tea plant is not used for making tea, as it contains less of the chemical compounds found in the leaves.
