Solution

The correct option is A Epipetalous
Epipetalous is a condition when the filaments of stamens are attached to the petals or corolla.
Corolla is the next whorl after calyx toward the apex, composed of units called petals, which are typically thin, soft and colored to attract animals that help the process of pollination. So, when the stamens arise on or from corolla, the condition is known as epipetalous.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
