Solution

The correct option is A

Sepals


After fertilization, petals, stamens, style, and stigma usually fall off, except for sepals in a few cases. In such cases, they either shrivel up or dry up but stay with the fruit. Examples: guava(sepals are extremely dry), tomato(sepals shrivel up), brinjal(sepals are intact and green).
