Solution
As per NCERT, in perigynous flowers the gynoecium is situated in the centre and the other parts are on the rim of the thalamus almost at the same level; the ovary is said to be half inferior, e.g. plum, rose, peach.
∵ Cucumber and guava have epigynous flowers (inferior ovary) and cotton has hypogynous flowers (superior ovary),
∴ peach.
