Solution

The correct option is C Calyx
The pappus is the modified calyx, the part of an individual floret that surrounds the base of the corolla tube in flower heads of the plant family Asteraceae. The term is sometimes used in other plant families such as Asclepiadaceae, whose seeds have a similar structure attached, although it has not related to the calyx of the flower.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
