Solution

The correct option is B Flowers actinomorphic, aestivation twisted and gamopetalous
Fabaceae or Papilionaceae, commonly known as a legume, pea and bean family is an economically important family of flowering plants. In Fabaceae, the flowers are medianly zygomorphic (bilateral symmetry), bisexual. Ascending imbricate aestivation (posterior petal overlaps) is seen. Petals are five, polypetalous (flowers having distinct or separate petals).
So, the correct answer is 'Flowers actinomorphic, aestivation twisted and gamopetalous'.
