Solution
The correct option is C Cucumber
The flowers can be defined according to the position of the ovary on the thalamus with respect to the other floral organs. When the ovary is placed below to the other floral organs, it is said to be an inferior ovary. The thalamus appears cup-shaped or hollow. Such flowers are called epigynous flowers as seen in Cucumber and other cucurbits. When the ovary is superior, the flowers are called hypogynous. When the ovary is half-superior, the flowers are called perigynous.Hence, the correct answer is 'Cucumber'.
