Solution

The correct option is B Perianth lobes
In a flower, the stamens can be seen attached with petals and when petals are absent then in that case, with tepals. When stamens are seen as arising from the perianth lobe (tepals), they are called epiphyllous. When the stamens are seen as arising from the petals, they are called epipetalous. Epiphyllous stamens can be seen in tube-rose.
Hence, the correct nswer is 'Perianth lobes'.
