Answer 2

Explanation:

Hypogynous flowers are those flowers in which gynoecium is present above all other floral parts. In this, the ovary is superior. Examples include mustard, brinjal, China rose, lupin, sunn hemp, gram, bean, chili, petunia, tomato, withania, potato, onion, aloe, and tulip. In perigynous flowers, the gynoecium is in the center and ovary is half inferior. Examples include plum, rose. In epigynous flowers, the ovary is inferior and it is enclosed by thalamus and gets fused with other parts. Examples include guava, cucumber, bitter gourd, pumpkin.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Fifteen.'
