Solution

The correct option is B Compositae
Cucurbitaceae - free 5 petals, epigynous flower (i.e. sepals, petals, stamens are successively and freely inserted above the ovary), pseudo axile placentation (placentae are enlarged intruding and often meeting in the center).
Solanaceae- epigynous, gamopetalous condition and axile placentation.
Malvaceae- free 5 petals, hypogynous flower (i.e. sepals, petals, stamens are successively and freely inserted below the ovary), axile placentation (placentae are enlarged intruding and often meeting in the center).
Compositae- flowers having epigynous gamopetalous (fused petals) condition and basal placentation.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
