The correct answer is option 1: Bonsai. Bonsai is the cultivation of trees in a dwarf form through various techniques such as pruning, wiring, and root reduction. Bonsai is an ancient Japanese art form that aims to create miniature replicas of full-sized trees, often portraying a natural landscape or capturing the essence of an older, weathered tree. The goal is to create a sense of harmony and balance between the tree and its container. Bonsai trees require regular care, including watering, fertilizing, and occasional repotting. The art of bonsai requires patience, skill, and an understanding of horticulture to shape and maintain the miniature trees. It is a popular hobby practiced by enthusiasts worldwide.
