The Day of the Triffids
By John Wyndham
The Triffids provided me with a job that comfortably supported me. They also on several occasions almost took my life. On the other hand, I have to admit that they preserved it, too, for it was a Triffid sting that landed me in the hospital on the critical occasion of the 'comet debris'.
In the books there is quite a lot of loose speculation on the sudden occurrence of the Triffids. Most of it is nonsense. Certainly they were not spontaneously generated as many simple souls believed. Nor did most people endorse the theory that they were a kind of sample visitation - harbingers of worse to come if the world did not mend its ways and behave its troublesome self. Nor did their seeds float to us through space as specimens of the horrid forms life might assume upon other, less favoured worlds - at least, I am satisfied that they did not.
I learned more about it than most people because Triffids were my job, and the firm I worked for was intimately, if not very gracefully, concerned in their public appearance. Nevertheless, their true origin still remains obscure. My own belief, for what it is worth, is that they were the outcome of a series of ingenious biological meddling - and very likely accidental at that. Had they been evolved anywhere but in the region they were, we should doubtless have had a well documented ancestry for them. As it was, no authoritative statement was ever published by those who must have been best qualified to know.

According to the author, the Triffids are _____________.

Athe result of scientific experiments
Bsome sort of mechanical devices
Csome kind of Aliens
Da type of plant


If we google triffids or even read books of John Wyndham we can tell triffids are a type of plant...how a result os scientific experiments? P.S I am not saying SOF is wrong but I could not find anything in the passage that says triffids are a result of scientific experiments...please do tell the reason

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
THE GARDEN
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful garden. In the garden, there were many colourful flowers such as red roses, yellow daisies and white lilies along with many stones. Everyday the flowers would smile at the children who came to play in the garden. They would dance in the breeze and spread their fragrance. But the stones, they just stood still.
One evening, after everyone had left the garden, the flowers began discussing this among themselves. The red rose said, ‘These stones do nothing. We always do the work.’ The yellow daisy added, ‘You’re right, my friend! They should work as well.’ The white lily listened to them but didn’t say a word. Soon, they all fell asleep. The Lord of the garden heard this and decided to do something. The next morning, the flowers woke up to a loud noise. The stones were moving. As they moved, they pushed the flowers and damaged the grass. The flowers began to scream, ‘Help, help, somebody help. These stones are going to kill us.’ The white lily spoke up, ‘Why are you screaming? They are working. You should be happy.’ The red rose cried out, ‘Yes, we did. But we’re sorry now because they are hurting us. Oh! Please make them stop.’
The Lord of the garden heard their cries and stopped the stones from moving.
The yellow daisy said, ‘I’m happy to do all the work. I’ll never complain anymore.’
