Solution

The correct option is A Solanaceae
Persistent calyx is a characteristic feature of the family Solanaceae. After fertilisation, when the ovary transforms into a fruit, all floral parts wither away. But in the family of Solanaceae, sepals persist even after fruit formation. Such a calyx is said to be persistent.
