1. Ovary is completely superior in perigynous flower.
2. Ovary is completely inferior in perigynous flower.
3. Ovary is partly superior and partly inferior in perigynous flower.
4. Ovary is neither superior nor inferior in perigynous flower.

Correct answer: Ovary is partly superior and partly inferior in perigynous flower.

Solution

In perigynous flowers, sepals, petals, and stamens arise from the rim of a cup-shaped thalamus surrounding the ovary. Because the ovary is not fully above or fully below the point of attachment, it is described as partly superior and partly inferior.
