Solution
The correct option is C Cucurbitaceae
The cucurbit flowers are unisexual, with male and female flowers on different plants (dioecious) or on the same plant (monoecious). Thus the transfer of pollen from male to female flowers may be best achieved by insect pollination, with honey bees being widely used for this purpose. Cucurbitaceae typically have unisexual yellow or white flowers with 5-fold symmetry and pointed petals, sometimes with petals fused into a funnel.
