Answer 1

Answer: (D)

A floral diagram provides information about the number of parts of a flower, their arrangement, and the relation they have with one another. The position of the mother axis is represented by a dot on the top of the floral diagram. A number of stamens and the type of placentation are shown but the position of ovary hypogynous, epigynous, or perigynous is not shown in the floral diagram but is shown in the floral formula.
