Step-by-step solution
Marginal placentation is found in pea where the placenta forms a ridge along the ventral suture of the ovary. Axile placentation is found in lemon, tomato, and china rose where the placenta is axial and ovules are attached to it in a multilocular ovary. Parietal placentation is found in mustard and argemone where ovules develop on the inner wall of the ovary. Basal placentation is found in marigold and sunflower where the placenta develops at the base of the ovary and a single ovule is attached to it. Thus, A matches II, B matches IV, C matches I, and D matches III. Answer: A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
