Solution

The correct option is B Perianth
Perianth (petals and sepals cannot be distinguished and look similar) is the accessory whorl of flowers in the family Liliaceae (monocots) and its units are called tepals.
Calyx is the accessory whorl of the flower and is made of units called sepals.
Corolla is also an accessory whorl made up of petals.
Androecium is composed of stamens and represents the male part of the flower while gynoecium is composed of carpels and represents the female part of the flower. Androecium and gynoecium are essential, reproductive whorls.
