Answer
(2) lemon
Solution
As per NCERT, when the placenta is axial and the ovules are attached to it in a multilocular ovary, the placentation is axile, as in china rose, tomato and lemon.
∵ Dianthus has free central, marigold (sunflower family) has basal and Argemone has parietal placentation,
∴ lemon shows axile placentation.
