Solution
The correct option is A Hypogyny
Based on the position of calyx, corolla, and androecium with respect to the ovary on the thalamus, flowers are classified as hypogynous, perigynous, and epigynous. If the gynoecium occupies the highest position in comparison to the other parts of the flower, then such kind of flower is described as hypogynous. The ovary is superior (having flower parts attached below the ovary). Examples are mustard (Brassica), Hibiscus, brinjal, etc.
