Answer 1

The correct option is A

The flower is zygomorphic

% indicates that the flower is zygomorphic, ♀ indicates a female flower, $K_{3+2}$ indicates that there are five sepals in two whorls one containing 3 sepals and the other containing 2 sepals, $C_5$ indicates that the corolla has five petals, and the symbol $\underset{–}{-G}$ means the ovary is partially inferior.
