D. (iii), (iv), (v), (vi)

Answer

To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the matches provided and determine whether they are correct or incorrect based on our knowledge of plant morphology.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Match (i): Cassia - Imbricate Aestivation**
- **Analysis**: Cassia exhibits imbricate aestivation, where the petals or sepals overlap each other in a non-continuous manner.
- **Conclusion**: This match is **correct**.

2. **Match (ii): Lady Finger - Twisted Aestivation**
- **Analysis**: Lady Finger (Okra) shows twisted aestivation, where the petals overlap each other in a continuous manner.
- **Conclusion**: This match is **correct**.

3. **Match (iii): Calotropis - Vexillary Aestivation**
- **Analysis**: Calotropis actually exhibits valvate aestivation, where the petals do not overlap but touch each other at the edges.
- **Conclusion**: This match is **incorrect**.

4. **Match (iv): Lily - Epipetalous Stamens**
- **Analysis**: In lilies, the condition is epiphyllous (the stamens are attached to the perianth), not epipetalous (attached to the petals).
- **Conclusion**: This match is **incorrect**.

5. **Match (v): Alstonia - Whorled Phyllotaxy**
- **Analysis**: Alstonia does exhibit whorled phyllotaxy, where multiple leaves arise from a single node.
- **Conclusion**: This match is **correct**.

6. **Match (vi): Silk Cotton - Pinnately Compound Leaf**
- **Analysis**: Silk cotton (Bombax) does not have pinnately compound leaves; it has palmate leaves.
- **Conclusion**: This match is **incorrect**.

### Summary of Correct Matches:
- Correct Matches: (i) Cassia - Imbricate Aestivation, (ii) Lady Finger - Twisted Aestivation, (v) Alstonia - Whorled Phyllotaxy.
- Incorrect Matches: (iii) Calotropis - Vexillary Aestivation, (iv) Lily - Epipetalous Stamens, (vi) Silk Cotton - Pinnately Compound Leaf.

### Final Answer:
The correct matches are:
1. Cassia - Imbricate Aestivation (Correct)
2. Lady Finger - Twisted Aestivation (Correct)
3. Alstonia - Whorled Phyllotaxy (Correct)
