Answer 1

The correct option is C Corolla

• The four whorls of the flower from outside to inside are:

Calyx$\to$Corolla$\to$Androecium $\to$Gynoecium

• The outermost green leaf like small structures seen are calyx (sepals), which protects the buds in the initial stages of developement.
• 'X' is corolla , which is the second whorl of the flower from outside.
• It contains colourful petals which protect the reproductive parts of a flower and also attracts pollinators.
• Androecium and gynoecium are the male and female reproductive part respectively.
