Vedclass · Answer

(A) The correct answer is $A$. In the family Compositae (Asteraceae),the stamens are $5$ in number,epipetalous,and syngenesious (anthers are fused while filaments are free). The term '$5$-lobed stamens' is incorrect because the stamens themselves are not $5$-lobed; rather,there are $5$ distinct stamens with fused anthers. The family is characterized by basal placentation (basal ovule) and the presence of ligulate ray florets.
