• B. A = Epigyny, B = Perigyny, C = Hypogyny
• C. A = Hypogyny, B = Epigyny, C = Perigyny
• D. A = Perigyny, B = Epigyny, C = Hypogyny

Answer 1

The correct option is A

A = Hypogyny, B = Perigyny, C = Epigyny

When the floral parts arise from a position below the ovary, the flower is said to be hypogynous, When the floral parts arise from a position above the ovary, the flower is said to be epigynous and when the flower parts appear to arise at the same level as the ovary, it is said to be perigynous.
