Solution

The correct option is A Papilionaceae
The family Papilionaceae is characterised by the butterfly-shaped corolla. There is a posterior petal which is larger and is called vexillum or standard. It overlaps the lateral petals called wings. These wings then overlap the anterior petals that are fused to form keel or carina.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Papilionaceae'
