Solution

The correct option is A Posterior carpels turn to right and anterior to the left
In the Solanaceae family, the ovary is oblique in position due to the tilting of posterior carpels to the right and anterior carpels to the left at an angle of 45 degrees. The ovary is superior, bilocular with many ovules on swollen axile placentation.
