• B. Sepals and petals are present at the rim of the thalamus at half the way of ovary
• C. Thalamus completely covers the ovary
• D. Ovary occupies the topmost position on the thalamus.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Ovary is half inferior
B Sepals and petals are present at the rim of the thalamus at half the way of ovary

A perigynous flower in which the thalamus forms a cup-shaped structure around the ovary, covering it the half way, the ovary is thus half inferior. Sepals, petals and stamens are borne on the thalamus at its rim, half the way of the ovary.
