An example of axile placentation is
A Marigold
B $Argemone$
C $Dianthus$
D Lemon

Detailed Solution

In axile placentation the placenta is axial and the ovules are attached to it in a multilocular ovary, as in china rose, tomato and lemon.
Marigold (and sunflower) have basal placentation: a single ovule attached at the base of a unilocular ovary.
$Argemone$ (and mustard) have parietal placentation: ovules on the inner wall of the ovary.
$Dianthus$ (and primrose) have free central placentation: ovules on a central axis without septa.
Hence the example of axile placentation is lemon.
