Solution

The correct option is B Calyx
Pappus formed by the modification of the persistent calyx in Compositae and the allied families Dipsaceae and Valerianaceac.
This pappus is of different appearance in different species and in many cases, it is large and light enough to keep the cypsela fruit floating in the air for a long time.
So the correct answer is 'Calyx'.
