The correct Answer is:
To determine which flower exhibits the perigynous condition of the ovary, we need to understand the definitions of the terms related to ovary position in flowers: 1. **Inferior Ovary**: This is when the ovary is located below the attachment of other floral parts (like petals and sepals). This condition is referred to as **epigynous**. 2. **Superior Ovary**: This occurs when the ovary is located above the attachment of other floral parts. This condition is known as **hypogynous**. 3. **Half-Inferior Ovary**: This is when the ovary is partially embedded in the receptacle, which is referred to as **perigynous**. Now, let’s analyze the options provided: - **Cucumber**: Has an inferior ovary (epigynous). - **Cotton**: Has a superior ovary (hypogynous). - **Guava**: Has an inferior ovary (epigynous). - **Peach**: Has a half-inferior ovary (perigynous). From this analysis, we can conclude that the flower with a perigynous condition of the ovary is the **peach**. Thus, the correct answer is **peach** (option 4).
