Step-by-step solution

The given floral formula represents the family Solanaceae. Statement (A) is correct: The symbol indicates that the flower is actinomorphic (radial symmetry). Statement (B) is incorrect: The arc over C _ (5) and A ₅ ( C _ (5) A ₅ ) indicates that the stamens are attached to the petals, which is the epipetalous condition. The epiphyllous condition involves attachment to the perianth ( P ). Statement (C) is correct: The line below G ( G ) indicates a superior ovary. Statement (D) is incorrect: The brackets around the
