Options
- AA-1, B-2, C-3
- BA-2, B-3, C-1
- CA-2, B-1, C-3
- DA-3, B-1, C-2
Correct answer
C. A-2, B-1, C-3
Step-by-step solution
Actinomorphic (radial symmetry) flowers can be divided into two equal radial halves in any radial plane passing through the centre. Examples given in NCERT include Mustard, Datura, and Chilli (A matches with 2). Zygomorphic (bilateral symmetry) flowers can be divided into two similar halves only in one particular vertical plane. Examples include Pea, Gulmohur, Bean, and Cassia (B matches with 1). Asymmetric (irregular) flowers cannot be divided into two similar halves by any vertical plane passing through the centr
