Solution

The correct option is A China-Rose
Capitulum or head bears many sessile and small florets. The main axis becomes flat and called receptacle. Peripheral florets called ray florets are pistillate or neuter and zygomorphic whereas disc florets are bisexual and actinomorphic. It is a type of racemose inflorescence. Examples are dahlia, sunflower, marigold, and Asteraceae family. In China rose, a solitary flower is seen.

So, the correct answer is 'China-Rose'.
