Loss of LFY gene results in:

That points to B: Conversion of flowers to inflorescences. Compared with the other options, Conversion of flowers to inflorescences is the one that correctly describes the ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering concept. The wrong ones are A) Extra petals; C) Only carpels; D) Early flowering. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.

Loss of Class C gene function leads to formation of:

That points to C: Repeated sepals and petals. Compared with the other options, Repeated sepals and petals is the one that correctly describes the ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering concept. The wrong ones are A) Only sepals; B) Only petals; D) Leaf-like organs. If you’re stuck, eliminate anything that contradicts a basic fact you already know for this topic.

Functional redundancy among SEP genes was revealed by mutation of:

Correct option is C, Triple SEP genes. In ABCE & ABCDE MODEL +Synapdrgon flowering problems like this, the accurate statement is Triple SEP genes; the others are common mix-ups. Not these: A) Single SEP gene; B) Double SEP genes; D) Only SEP4. Tissue transport questions usually turn on xylem vs phloem, living vs dead cells, or source vs sink.
