Solution

The correct option is A

zygomorphic


In symmetry, the flower may be actinomorphic (radial symmetry) or zygomorphic (bilateral symmetry). When a flower can be divided into two equal radial halves in any
radial plane passing through the centre, it is said to be actinomorphic. A flower which can be divided into two equal halves by only one plane is said to be zygomorphic, e.g., pea, gulmohur, bean, Cassia.
