Options
- A(i) (ii), (v)
- B(i), (ii), (v), (vi)
- C(ii), (iv), (v), (vi)
- D(iii), (iv), (v), (vi)
Correct answer
A. (i) (ii), (v)
Step-by-step solution
Aestivation is the arrangement of the flower petals. In calotropis, valvate aestivation is observed. Phyllotaxy is the arrangement pattern on leaves. In Silk cotton, the palmately compound leaf is seen. In Lilly flower, the stamens are free and versatile and non-epipetalous in nature.
