Solution
The correct option is C Liliaceae
- The perianth is the non-reproductive part of the flower, and structure that forms an envelope surrounding the sexual organs, consisting of the calyx (sepals) and the corolla (petals).
- Tepals formed by similar sepals and petals are common in monocotyledons, particularly the "lilioid monocots".
- In tulips, for example, the first and second whorls both contain structures that look like petals.
- Hence, the Liliaceae family possess perianth of coloured tepals.
- So, the correct answer is 'Liliaceae'.
