Solution

The correct option is D Hibiscus
The flowers belonging to the family Malvaceae have a number of bracteoles that can vary from three bracteoles to many bracteoles. These bracteoles form a whorl of epicalyx below the calyx. So, epicalyx becomes the outermost accessory whorl. It can be seen in China Rose.
So, the correct answer is 'China Rose'
