• A. $Rafflesia$
• B. $Calycanthus$
• C. $Salvia$
• D. $Passiflora$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $Passiflora$

When in a flower, the internode between the corolla and the androecium is lengthened so as to raise the androecium high up in the air then that internode is called Androphore. It is an extension of the receptacle carrying the androecium and the gynoecium, typical of the caper family. In Passiflora, androphore is lightly differentiated.
