A
Correct answer
Explanation
Rafflesia (spelled 'Rufleshia' here) is the largest flower in the world, reaching up to 1 meter in diameter and weighing up to 11 kg. It's a parasitic plant with no leaves, stems, or roots. Wolfia (option B, spelled 'Wolfia' here - should be 'Wolffia') is actually the smallest flowering plant.
AI explanation
Rafflesia arnoldii produces the largest individual flower of any plant, sometimes reaching over a meter in diameter and weighing several kilograms. It's a parasitic plant found in Southeast Asian rainforests and is notorious for smelling like rotting flesh to attract pollinating insects. Sunflowers and other listed options produce much smaller individual blooms.
