Solution

The correct option is A Cardiospermum
The bal­loon-shaped appendages are formed by the modification of different parts of the plant; they help the fruits and seeds to remain in the air for a longer period. These are formed by inflated calyx in Physalis minima of Solanaceae, inflated fruits (capsule) in Cardio- spermum halicacabum of Sapindaceae, inflated ovaries of legume in Colutea arborescens.
So the correct answer is 'Cardiospermum'.
