Solution
The correct option is D Liliaceae
Stamens are the male reproductive organ of the bisexual flower. The stamen is made up of a filament and anthers where these are generally two-lobed and attached to the filament at the base or centre. Depending on the point of attachment of the anther to the filament and its place in the floral whorl, these are variously termed. Epiphyllous stamens are one which is joined or adnate to more than one whorl with undifferentiated tepals. This characteristic is found in the family Liliaceae.Thus, the correct answer is option C.
