Solution
The correct option is D Tepals In some flowers like onion and Asphodelus, the calyx and corolla are not distinct. They are collectively called the perianth. The perianth is an accessory whorl whose individual member is called tepal. Based on the appearance, the tepals can be petaloid (coloured) or sepaloid (green).
