Solution

The correct option is B Epigynous
Guava belongs to the family Myrtaceae and the Cucurbits belong to the family Cucurbitaceae. These are included in the Series-III (Calyciflorae) and have the epigynous flowers in which the ovary is inserted lower to the other floral organs and the thalamus appears flattened. So, the ovary becomes inferior in position as compared to the sepals, petals and androecium.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Epigynous'
