Correct option(b) Six   

Explanation:

A superior ovary is an ovary attached to the receptacle above the attachment of other floral parts. In this case the flower is said to be hypogynous, e.g. China rose, mustard, brinjal, potato, onion and tulip. Guava and cucumber have inferior ovaries or epigynous flowers. 

So, out of 8 given names, 6 have superior ovaries.
