Solution
The correct option is A Cyclic flower
If sepals and petals of a flower are arranged in a whorl the flower is cyclic. It mainly consists of a single whorl of sepals termed a calyx, a single whorl of petals termed as corolla; one or more whorl of stamens - together termed the androecium, and a single whorl of carpels termed the gynoecium. This is a cyclic arrangement. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
