Select an incorrect statement.

A

In marginal placentation the ovules are borne on the ridge forming two rows.

B

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting an incorrect statement regarding placentation in flowering plants, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Evaluate the First Statement**: - The first statement claims that in marginal placentation, the ovules are born on the ridge forming two rows. - This statement is **correct** because marginal placentation indeed involves ovules developing along the margin of the ovary, forming two rows. **Hint**: Recall the definition of marginal placentation and visualize the ovule arrangement. 2. **Evaluate the Second Statement**: - The second statement states that when ovules are born on the central axis and septa is absent, the placentation is free central. - This statement is also **correct**. Free central placentation occurs when ovules are attached to a central column without any septa. **Hint**: Think about the structure of the ovary and how the ovules are positioned in free central placentation. 3. **Evaluate the Third Statement**: - The third statement mentions that in basal placentation, the placenta develops at the base of the ovary. - This statement is **correct** as well. In basal placentation, the ovules are attached at the base of the ovary. **Hint**: Visualize the ovary structure and where the placenta is located in basal placentation. 4. **Evaluate the Fourth Statement**: - The fourth statement claims that false septum is found in mustard, primrose, and argimon. - This statement is **incorrect**. While false septum is found in mustard and argimon (which have parietal placentation), it is absent in primrose, which has a tricentral placentation. **Hint**: Recall the characteristics of each plant mentioned and their respective placentation types. ### Conclusion After evaluating all the statements, the incorrect statement is **option number 4**. ### Final Answer The answer is **option number 4**. ---
