## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: B
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Flower Morphology - Ovary Position
	**Related Topics**: Hypogyny, Epigyny, Perigyny, Floral Structure
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of flower parts and their arrangement.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
A list of plants is provided, and we need to identify those with a superior ovary.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. **Understanding Superior Ovary**: A superior ovary is located above the attachment point of other floral parts (sepals, petals, stamens) on the receptacle. This condition is called hypogyny.
	2. **Analyzing the Given Plants**:
		* **China rose, Mustard, Brinjal, Onion, Tulip, Potato:** These plants exhibit hypogyny and thus have a superior ovary.
		* **Peach, Cucumber:** These plants have an inferior ovary (epigyny or perigyny) where the ovary is located below the attachment of other floral parts.
	3. **Selecting the Correct Option**: The option containing all the plants with superior ovaries is B.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: This option includes Peach and Cucumber, which have inferior ovaries.
[B] ✓: This option correctly lists all the plants with superior ovaries: China rose, Mustard, Brinjal, Onion, Tulip, and Potato.
[C] :x: This option only includes Peach and Cucumber, both of which have inferior ovaries.
[D] :x: This option misses Onion and Potato, which have superior ovaries, and includes Cucumber, which has an inferior ovary.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing superior and inferior ovary: Remember, superior ovary is above the attachment point, inferior is below.
		2. Misidentifying floral parts: Accurate identification of floral parts is crucial for determining ovary position.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Visualize the flower structure: Imagine the relative positions of the ovary and other floral parts.
		2. Remember examples: China rose is a classic example of a flower with a superior ovary.
