Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer

To solve the question about the flower characteristics and determine the correct symbolic representation, we will break down the information provided step by step.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Flower Characteristics**:
- The flower is described as **bracteate** (having bracts).
- It is **zygomorphic** (bilaterally symmetrical).
- The flower is **bisexual** (having both male and female reproductive organs).
- It has **6 stamens fused** (indicating the stamens are united).
- It has a **tricarpellary syncarpous superior ovary** (indicating three fused carpels and a superior ovary).

2. **Bracteate vs. E-bracteate**:
- Since the flower is bracteate, any option that indicates e-bracteate (e.g., "ebr") is incorrect. Therefore, we eliminate options that contain "ebr" or "brl" (which stands for bractiolate).

3. **Zygomorphic Representation**:
- Zygomorphic flowers are represented with a percentage sign (%) or a cross sign (×). Since both remaining options have the percentage sign, we cannot eliminate any based on this characteristic.

4. **Bisexual Representation**:
- The symbol for bisexual flowers is a specific sign (often represented as a plus sign or a specific symbol). We need to check which option correctly represents bisexuality. Only one of the remaining options should have the correct symbol for bisexual.

5. **Stamens**:
- The flower has **6 fused stamens**. In symbolic terms, this is represented as (6) indicating that the stamens are united.

6. **Gynoecium Characteristics**:
- The flower has a **tricarpellary syncarpous superior ovary**. This means:
- The three carpels are fused, represented as (3).
- The superior ovary is indicated by a dash under the G (gynoecium).

7. **Final Verification**:
- After analyzing all the characteristics, we match them with the remaining options. The correct option should have:
- Bracteate representation (not e-bracteate).
- Zygomorphic representation (either % or ×).
- Bisexual representation.
- (6) for the stamens.
- (3) for the carpels with a dash for the superior ovary.

8. **Conclusion**:
- After evaluating all the characteristics, the correct option that matches all the criteria is **Option 4**.
