Solution
The correct option is D United valvate sepals, free imbricate petals, free stamens, unilocular ovary with marginal placentation
Aestivation is the arrangement of the sepals and petals in their respective whorls.
Valvate aestivation is when the units are lying next to each other without their margins overlapping.
Twisted aestivation is when there is regular overlapping of the margins(one side in and the other side out).
Imbricate aestivation is when there is irregular overlapping. There are usually 5 units (sepals or petals) one is completely out, one is completely in and the other three have their margins in and out. Here, the sepals are showing valvate aestivation and the petals are showing imbricate aestivation.
The stamens are free and not attached to the corolla (not epipetalous).
The ovary has one locule (unilocular) and the ovule is attached to the margin of the ovary.
