Solution
The correct option is C Periwinkle Sepals are green, leaf-like structures which are collectively called calyx. They form the first whorl of a flower from the outer to inner side. On the basis of whether the sepals are fused or free of each other, they can be classified into two types-
Gamosepalous- Sepals are fused with each other. Example: Hibiscus, Datura, Periwinkle.
Polysepalous: Sepals are free from each other. Example: Rose, Magnolia, Mustard.
