The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Ray Florets**: Ray florets are a type of flower structure found in plants of the Asteraceae family, commonly known as the daisy family. They are characterized by their petal-like structures that radiate from the center of the flower. 2. **Identifying the Ovary Type**: The question asks about the type of ovary present in ray florets. In flowering plants, the position of the ovary can be classified as superior, half-inferior, or inferior based on its location relative to other floral parts. 3. **Defining Inferior Ovary**: An inferior ovary is one where the ovary is located below the attachment of other floral parts (like petals and stamens). This means that the other parts of the flower arise above the level of the ovary. 4. **Ray Florets and Epigynous Flowers**: In ray florets, the ovary is classified as inferior, which means they are epigynous flowers. In these flowers, the other floral parts (petals, stamens) are situated above the ovary. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Ray florets have:" is **Inferior Ovary**. ---
