Microspermae is the series in classification of monocotyledons Orchidaceae. There are minute, undiffererentiated, non- endospermic seeds. In Iridaceae, the perianth consists of 6 petaloid tepals in two differentiated or undifferentiated whorls. Commonly all 6 tepals are united into a perianth tube or epigynous zone.
Calycineae is a series of Palmae (Arecaceae). Fruit-berry in Date palm and drupe in Coconut. The gynoecium of Alismataceae is apocarpous, comprising 3 to many simple pistils, each with a superior ovary containing a single locule with 1 basal ovule. Nectaries may be found on the base of the pistils or on the receptacle. The fruit is an achene.
Coronariae is a series of Liliaceae. Flowers are actinomorphic, bisexual, hypogynous, and trimerous.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
