Solution

The correct option is C Juncus or Cryptostegia

Failure of the pollen grains to separate from the tetrads is the cause for the formation of compound pollen grains and they occur in more than 56 families of angiosperms. The microspores are separated from the tetrads into individual pollen grains. But in some cases as in Juncus and Cryptostegia, the microspores do not separate from each other and hence compound pollen grains are formed.

The correct option is C.
