Solution

The correct option is C Asteraceae
Asteraceae or Compositae is a large and widespread family of flowering plants. It is commonly referred to as a composite family or sunflower family. In Asteraceae, the stamens are 5 rarely 4; epipetalous (stamens are attached to the petals), syngenesious (anthers are free and filaments are united), forming a tube which encloses style. Hence, epipetalous and syngenesious stamens occur in Asteraceae.
So, the correct answer is 'Asteraceae'.
