The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect statement among the given options, we can analyze each statement one by one: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement:** - **Statement:** "Salvia shows variation in the length of filaments within a flower." - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. In Salvia, the condition known as didynamous occurs, where there are two pairs of stamens with different lengths. **Hint:** Check if the statement aligns with known botanical characteristics of Salvia. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement:** - **Statement:** "Mustard has polycarpillary and carpus gynoecium." - **Analysis:** This statement is also correct. Mustard flowers exhibit a syncarpous gynoecium, which means the carpels are fused together, and they can be considered polycarpillary. **Hint:** Recall the structure of the gynoecium in mustard and its classification. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement:** - **Statement:** "In Argemone, the ovary is one-chambered but it becomes two-chambered due to the formation of the false septum." - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. The ovary in Argemone is indeed one-chambered but can appear two-chambered due to the presence of a false septum. **Hint:** Consider the anatomical features of Argemone's ovary and the role of the false septum. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Statement:** - **Statement:** "In cucumber, the gynoecium occupies the highest position while the other flower parts are situated below it." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. In cucumbers, the ovary is actually inferior, meaning that the other flower parts are positioned above the ovary. **Hint:** Review the definitions of superior and inferior ovaries in flowering plants. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement among the options is the fourth statement regarding cucumber. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is: "In cucumber, the gynoecium occupies the highest position while the other flower parts are situated below it." ---
