Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Flowers with inferior ovaries are termed epigynous. In epigynous flowers, the margin of thalamus grows upward enclosing the ovary completely and getting fused with it, the other parts of flower arise above the ovary.
Detailed explanation-2: -Guava and cucumber have epigynous flowers where the stamens are present above the ovary. This indicated the ovary is inferiorly placed.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Perigynous’.
Detailed explanation-4: -In epigynous flower, ovary is situated below the thalamus (inferior) while the other whorls of flower like sepals, petals and androecium grows above the ovary (superior), e.g., carrot, guava, Cucurbita, sunflower, etc.
