Question

Match List-I with List-II :

List-I	List-II
A. Vexillary aestivation	I. Brinjal
B. Epipetalous stamens	II. Peach
C. Epiphyllous stamens	III. Pea
D. Perigynous flower	IV. Lily

Choose the correct answer from the options given below

• A. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• B. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
• C. A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
• D. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct pairings are as follows:

• A. Vexillary aestivation - II. Pea: This floral arrangement, characteristic of the pea family (Fabaceae), features a standard petal (vexillum) that overlaps the other petals.
• B. Epipetalous stamens - I. Brinjal: In this arrangement, the stamens are attached to the petals, as observed in brinjal flowers.
• C. Epipetalous stamens - IV. Lily: Epipetalous stamens are also present in lily flowers.
• D. Perigynous flower - III. Peach: In a perigynous flower, such as the peach blossom, the ovary is centrally positioned, encircled by the other floral components.

Consequently, the correct choice is (1). Note: There appears to be an error in the question, as 'C. Epipetalous stamens' is listed twice in List I.
