Solution

The correct option is D Polygonaceae
Ochreate stipules are found in Polygonaceae family. Leaves of some plants have lateral parts on each side of leaf base known as stipules. Main function of stipules is to protect the leaf in the bud. Ochreate stipules are formed when both stipules of the leaf join on the outer and inner margin and make a hollow tube which surrounds the stem up to the upper part of the node.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
