The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given plants has zygomorphic flowers, we need to understand the definitions of zygomorphic and actinomorphic flowers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Flower Symmetry**: - Flowers can be classified based on their symmetry into two main types: - **Zygomorphic Flowers**: These flowers cannot be divided into two identical halves. They have unequal parts, meaning that there is only one plane of symmetry. - **Actinomorphic Flowers**: These flowers can be divided into two identical halves along multiple planes. They have equal floral parts. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **(a) Mustard**: Mustard flowers are actinomorphic. They have symmetrical floral parts. - **(b) Gulmohur**: Gulmohur flowers are zygomorphic. They have unequal petals and can only be divided into two equal halves in one specific way. - **(c) China Rose**: China rose flowers are actinomorphic. They exhibit symmetry and can be divided into equal halves. - **(d) Datura**: Datura flowers are also actinomorphic, having symmetrical floral parts. 3. **Identify the Correct Answer**: - From the analysis, the only plant that has zygomorphic flowers is **Gulmohur** (option B). ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **(b) Gulmohur**.
