Solution

The correct option is A Leguminosae
Sepals are the members of calyx which is the outermost part of the flower. They are generally green and protect the flower in bud stage.
Solanaceae family flower has five united sepals in valvate aestivation.
Cruciferae family flower shows four sepals in two whorls of two each. Outer two sepals are often bigger than inner two.
Compositae family flower shows sepals absent or are modified into pappus for wind dispersal of the seeds.
Leguminosae family flower shows five sepals and odd one is anterior sepal. The sepal which lies in line with mother axis is called as odd sepal.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
