None.
I'd go with "which once grew"
Are you sure none of the choices are correct?
But this is from an exer ise book.

If you have transcribed the answers correctly, and they are supposed to fit in the blank, then yes, I am sure.
I agree with dlowan. All choices are wrong.
"Once grown" has the sence odf "once cultivated" -- that is, once grown by man in the forest.
If the flowers now raised here were developed from forest wildflowers, then "which once grew" is the correct way to express this.
None of the given answers makes a grammatical sentence, no matter whether they were cultivated in the forest or not.
