Solution

The correct option is B Sepals
The fruit of water chestnut is a drupe which develops from a ripened ovary. All parts of the flower (styles,stamens and petals) are shed off while the fruit develops and just the sepals remain which get modified to form spines.
So, the correct answer is 'Sepals'.
