Solution
The correct option is B Superficial In superficial placentation, the ovary is multilocular, polycarpellary and syncarpous. The ovules are borne over whole of the inner surface of the ovary.
In parietal placentation, the ovary is usually one-chambered but in some cases becomes bilocular due to the formation of the false septum.
The type of placentation in which palcenta forms a ridge over the ventral suture of the ovary and two separate rows of ovules are born is known as marginal placentation such as in peas.
Pendulous placentation is the one in which placenta is present at the top of the ovary with the ovules hanging down.
