Solution
The correct option is A Primrose
In heterostylous plants, a genetic polymorphism produces two (distyly) or three (tristyly) floral morphs (types) among plants of a single species. It is the floral form with reciprocal differences in the length of the style and stamens to prevent self-fertilization. For example, common primrose (Primula vulgaris), wood sorrel (Oxalis) and flax.Thus, the correct answer is option C.
