The correct answer is **b. They would paint perfect versions of the flowers, that realistically would never bloom at the same time.**
Dutch and Flemish still life paintings, especially floral arrangements, often featured idealized, perfect versions of flowers that would not naturally bloom together, highlighting the artist's skill and the beauty of nature rather than strict realism.
