• B. $\left(iii\right),\left(iv\right),\left(v\right),\left(vi\right)$
• C. $\left(ii\right),\left(iv\right),\left(v\right),\left(vi\right)$
• D. $\left(i\right),\left(ii\right),\left(v\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\left(i\right),\left(ii\right),\left(v\right)$

Valvate aestivation

• The type of aestivation in which the sepals or petals in a whorl just meet one another at the margin without overlapping or turning, is said to be valvate.
• In this type of aestivation two of the sepals or petals are outer, two inner and one is partly outer partly inner.

Epiphyllous

• Epiphyllous is a condition in which the stamens are attached to the perianth.
• For example, liles.

Palmately compound leaf

In silk cotton palmately compound leaves are present. In this the leaflets are attached at a common point.
