(C) In a hypogynous flower,the gynoecium occupies the highest position while the other parts are situated below it. The ovary in such flowers is said to be superior (e.g.,China rose,mustard,brinjal).In an epigynous flower,the margin of the thalamus grows upward enclosing the ovary completely and getting fused with it,the other parts of the flower arise above the ovary. The ovary is said to be inferior (e.g.,guava,cucumber,ray florets of sunflower).In a perigynous flower,the gynoecium is situated in the center and other parts of the flower are located on the rim of the thalamus almost at the same level. The ovary is said to be half inferior (e.g.,plum,rose,peach).Comparing these with the table:$(I)$ Hypogynous flower - Ovary superior (Table says inferior) - Incorrect.$(II)$ Epigynous flower - Ovary inferior (Table says superior) - Incorrect.$(III)$ Perigynous flower - Ovary half inferior - Rose,Plum - Correct.Therefore,only $(III)$ is the correct match.
