The question is asking which plant has a zygomorphic flower.

Zygomorphic flowers are those that are symmetrical along only one plane. In simpler terms, they can be divided into two symmetrical halves by a single vertical plane.

Let's analyze the options:

(A) Mustard: Mustard has a actinomorphic flower, meaning it is radially symmetrical, and can be divided into symmetrical halves by multiple planes.

(B) Tomato: Tomato also has an actinomorphic flower, meaning it is radially symmetrical.

(C) Gulmohar: Gulmohar has a zygomorphic flower. The flower of Gulmohar is asymmetrical and can only be divided into two symmetrical halves along one plane.

(D) Datura: Datura has a actinomorphic flower, meaning it is radially symmetrical.

Thus, the correct answer is (C) Gulmohar.
