The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Flower Symmetry:** - Flowers can exhibit two types of symmetry: actinomorphic (radial symmetry) and zygomorphic (bilateral symmetry). - Actinomorphic flowers can be divided into two equal halves by multiple planes through their center, while zygomorphic flowers can only be divided into two equal halves by a single plane. 2. **Identifying Actinomorphic Flowers:** - Examples of actinomorphic flowers include Datura, Mustard, and Tomato. - These flowers can be divided into symmetrical halves through various planes. 3. **Identifying Zygomorphic Flowers:** - Zygomorphic flowers, on the other hand, can only be divided into symmetrical halves by one specific plane. - An example of a zygomorphic flower is Gulmohar. 4. **Conclusion:** - From the options provided (Datura, Mustard, Gulmohar, and Tomato), the flower that is zygomorphic is **Gulmohar**. **Final Answer: Gulmohar is a zygomorphic flower.** ---
