Solution

The correct option is C Dichlamydeous
The flowers can be defined on the basis of presence and absence of the sepals and petals. When both the sepals and petals are present, the flower is called dichlamydeous.
A. When both the sepals and petals are absent, the flower is called achlamydeous. Only sexual parts represent the flower.
B. When both the sepals and petals are present, the flower is dichlamydeous.
C. When only one accessory whorl is present as perianth, the flower is called monochlamydeous.
D. When either the stamens or the carpels are absent, the flowers are called diclinous.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Dichlamydeous'.
