The correct option is D 12 years

Kurinji is a shrub that is found in the shola forests of the Western Ghats in South India. Kurinji flower is an endemic species in South India growing only in Anamalai, Nilgiris and Palani hills in Tamil Nadu. It does not grow in any part of the world. Nilgiri Hills, which literally means the blue mountains, got their name from the purplish blue flowers of Neelakurinji that blossoms only once in 12 years.
