Solution
The correct option is D Lodicules
C. LodiculesReason: In case of Gramineae, the perianth called lodicules, are reduced to two scales, that expand and contract to spread the leema and palea. The lodicules are the two diminutive bodies lying between the leema and the ovary base of the grass floret which, by expanding at the time of anthesis, lever away the rigid leema allowing stigmas and anthers to emerge. Expansion results from the swelling of a cushion of tissue at the base of each lodicule.
