Solution

The correct option is C Epigynous
In an epigynous condition, the margin of thalamus grows upward enclosing the ovary completely and gets fused with it. The other parts of flower arise above the ovary. The ovary is inferior and this condition is known as epigynous, e.g., guava, cucumber and ray florets of sunflower.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
