Answer: (B)

a-s, b-p, c-t, d-r, e-q

	Column I		Column II
a	Basal	s	Marigold
b	Free central	p	Dianthus

d	Axile	r	Lemon
e	Marginal	q	Pea

a. Basal placentation shows the unilocular ovary with a single ovule borne at the base of the ovary.

b. Free central placentation shows unilocular ovary with the ovules borne on the central axis of placenta which is not attached to the ovary wall by any septum.

c. Parietal placentation shows the unilocular ovary with ovules borne on peripheral placenta present on the fused margins.

d. Axile placentation shows the multilocular ovary with ovules borne at the central placenta.

e. Marginal placentation shows the monocarpellary apocarpous gynoecium and the ovules are borne on the ventral suture.

Hence, the correct answer is 'a-s, b-p, c-t, d-r, e-q'.
