Solution

The correct option is C Papilionaceous
Flowers are the reproductive organs of a plant. Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers. Together, all of the petals of a flower are called a Corolla. Papilionaceous flowers are flowers with the characteristic irregular and butterfly-like corolla found in plants of the subfamily of legume species. The flowers have a bilateral symmetry with the corolla consisting of five petals with vexillary aestivation.
So the correct option is 'papilionaceous'.
