[Answer]
これは花を切る（4 のに）使うはさみです。
These are scissors used for cutting flowers.
Here, のに means “for ~” or “in order to ~.”
It shows purpose or usage.
Verb【dictionary-form】のに + 使う
= “used for doing ~”
In this sentence:
はさみ (scissors)
↓
usage
↓
花を切る (to cut flowers)
＝花を切るのに使うはさみ (used for cutting flowers)
That’s why のに is the correct answer.
✖ Other Choices:
けど
= but
から
= because
ので
= because
These do not show the purpose of the scissors.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
