B Correct answer
Explanation

Ebractiate is the correct botanical term for a flower that lacks bracts (modified leaves associated with reproduction). The prefix 'e-' means 'without' in botanical terminology. Bracteate flowers have bracts, while heteromerous refers to flowers with different numbers of parts in each whorl.
