Solution

The correct option is C Mussaenda
Petaloids are structures resembling petals but actually they are not. In Mussaenda, the sepals look like petals. The star-like flowers of the shrub are 10 mm in diameter and have single, modified sepal. Mussaenda erythrophylla, commonly known as Ashanti Blood, Red Flag Bush and Tropical Dogwood, is an evergreen West African shrub.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
