Solution

The correct option is C Hypogynous flowers
The flowers of Asteraceae are not hypogynous. In hypogynous flowers, the perianth and stamens are attached to the receptacle below the gynoecium, the ovary is superior to these organs and the remaining floral organs arise from below the point of origin of the carpel. This is not a characteristic of Asteraceae.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
