Solution

The correct option is C Fused only at the base
The units of corolla called petals can be fused with each other in varying degrees. Petals are called connate when their base is fused and forms a tubular structure, as seen in Ipomoea. When the petals are completely fused, they are called gamopetalous. When the petals are free, they are called polypetalous.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Fused only at the base'
