The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which flower has a perigynous structure with a half-inferior ovary, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms**: - **Perigynous Flower**: In a perigynous flower, the ovary is positioned in such a way that it is surrounded by other floral parts (like petals and sepals) but is not fully inferior. The term "peri" means around, and "gynous" refers to the female reproductive part (the ovary). - **Half-Inferior Ovary**: This means that the ovary is partially below the level of the other floral parts. 2. **Identify the Types of Ovary**: - **Hypogynous**: Ovary is above the other floral parts (e.g., rose). - **Perigynous**: Ovary is at the same level as other floral parts, but surrounded by them (e.g., peach). - **Epigynous**: Ovary is fully inferior to the other floral parts. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - **Rose**: This flower has a hypogynous ovary, meaning it does not fit the description. - **Peach**: This flower has a perigynous ovary and is known to have a half-inferior ovary, making it a suitable candidate. - **Chrysanthemum**: Typically has a hypogynous structure, which does not fit the description. - **All of these**: Since not all options fit the description, this cannot be correct. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the flower that is perigynous with a half-inferior ovary is **peach**. ### Final Answer: **Peach** is the correct answer. ---
