Solution

The correct option is A Perianth
Petals and sepals collectively are known as perianth. To be more specific, when the petals and sepals are similar in shape and color and cannot be distinguished or only single whorl is present outside the stamens, then such a whorl is called perianth. Each individual member of this whorl is known as tepal.
E.g lily flower.
