Solution

The correct option is C Hemitropous
The ovules can develop into varying degrees with the funicle. The hemitropous ovule is placed transversely or at the right angle to the funicle.
A. The anatropous ovule is turned by 180 $^{o}$ such that the micropyle lies close to the hilum.
B. The orthotropous ovule has micropyle, chalaza and funicle arranged in the straight line.
C. The campylotropous ovule is a curved ovule.
D. Hemitropous ovule lies at the 90 $^{o}$ to the funicle.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Hemitropous'
