Solution

The correct option is C Tepals
A tepal is one of the outer parts of a flower (collectively the perianth) when these parts cannot easily be divided into two kinds, sepals and petals. It is seen in monocot flowers like tulips and lilies. Thus sepals and petals have the same appearance.
Sepaloid petals are the petals which are green in color whereas petaloid sepals are the sepals that are colored and look like petals.
