The correct option is B 2
Incorrect statements
Statement (d): Chilli has radial symmetry, epipetalous stamen, swollen placenta, monocarpellary gynoecium and belongs to family Solanaceae.
Elaboration:
- Chilli (Capsicum frutescens) is a member of family Solanaceae.
- It shows actinomorphic symmetry.
Incorrect statements
- Epipetalous condition is observed.
- Chilli has swollen placenta.
- Gynoecium of chilli is bicarpellary and not monocarpellary.
Hence, statement (d) is incorrect
Incorrect statements
Statement (e): Lily has actinomorphic flower, axile placentation, imbricate aestivation, tricarpellary and trilocular gynoecium belonging to family Liliaceae.
Elaboration:
- Lily (Lilium) is a member of the family Liliaceae
- Flowers are actinomorphic.
- Placentation is axile.
Incorrect statements
- Valvate aestivation is present and not imbricate aestivation.
- Gynoecium is tricarpellary and trilocular.
Hence, statement (e) is incorrect.
Final answer
(d) 2
