A flower is described as having actinomorphic symmetry, twisted aestivation, and axile placentation. Which of the following plants exhibits this combination of characters?

Step-by-step solution

To identify the correct plant, we must evaluate the floral characters of each option based on NCERT examples. Mustard has actinomorphic symmetry but exhibits parietal placentation and valvate aestivation. Cassia has zygomorphic symmetry, imbricate aestivation, and marginal placentation. Pea has zygomorphic symmetry, vexillary aestivation, and marginal placentation. China rose exhibits actinomorphic symmetry, twisted aestivation, and axile placentation. The intersection of these three features points specifically to
