The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

A floral diagram illustrates:

  • The number of floral components
  • Their spatial arrangement
  • Their structural relationships

Key floral whorls – \(\text{calyx}\)\(\text{corolla}\)\(\text{androecium}\), and \(\text{gynoecium}\) – are depicted in concentric circles from outermost to innermost.

The combined perianth (outer floral envelope) comprises undifferentiated \(\text{sepals}\) and \(\text{petals}\). When these structures are morphologically similar, each unit is termed a \(\text{tepal}\) – the correct designation for the floral elements shown in the diagram.
