Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
[c] A-Orthotropous: It is also called atropous.
It is erect no bending is there, e.g., Polygonum.
B-Antropous: Completely inverted, e.g.
Helianthus.
C-Hemitropous: The micropyle and chalaza line at 90° to funicle, e.g.
Ranunculus.
D-Campylotropous: more curvture than hemitropous, e.g., Capparis, mustard.
E-Amphitropous: Horse shoe like, e.g., Capsella.
F-Circinotropous: Ovule straight micropyle upward due to unilateral growth of funicle it becomes inverted, e.g., Opuntia.
