The correct Answer is:
To determine which flower has a half inferior ovary, we need to understand the different types of ovaries in flowering plants. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Types of Ovaries - **Inferior Ovary**: The ovary is located below the other floral parts. This is known as an epigynous ovary. - **Superior Ovary**: The ovary is located above the other floral parts. This is known as a hypogynous ovary. - **Half Inferior Ovary**: The ovary is at the same level as other floral parts, which is known as a periginous ovary. ### Step 2: Analyze the Options 1. **Cucumber**: This flower has an epigynous ovary (inferior). 2. **Coconut**: This flower also has a superior ovary (hypogynous). 3. **Guava**: This flower has an epigynous ovary (inferior). 4. **Peach**: This flower has a periginous ovary (half inferior). ### Step 3: Conclusion Among the options provided, the only flower that has a half inferior ovary is **Peach**.
