Solution

The correct option is A Sepals
Calyx forms the outermost whorl of a flower. They are modified leaves which are mostly green in color. Individual members of the calyx are called sepals. They protect the developing bud from injury and retain its moisture. They also perform photosynthesis.
So, the correct answer is 'Sepals'
