(C) Aestivation is the mode of arrangement of sepals or petals in a floral bud with respect to the other members of the same whorl.$1$. Valvate: When sepals or petals in a whorl just touch one another at the margin,without overlapping (e.g.,Calotropis).$2$. Twisted: If one margin of the appendage overlaps that of the next one and so on (e.g.,China rose,lady's finger,and cotton).$3$. Imbricate: If the margins of sepals or petals overlap one another but not in any particular direction (e.g.,Cassia and Gulmohar).$4$. Vexillary: In pea and bean flowers,there are five petals; the largest (standard) overlaps the two lateral petals (wings) which in turn overlap the two smallest anterior petals (keel). This is also known as papilionaceous aestivation.Therefore,the correct answer is Imbricate.
