Solution
The correct option is C Compositae
In Asteraceae, the ovary of each flower is situated below the attachment of the corolla and stamens, a condition referred to as epigynous or inferior. The stamens are syngenesious that is only anthers are fused into a tube around the style and filaments are free. The flowers produce dry, indehiscent fruits termed as cypsela (achenes). The fruits (cypselas) with their hair or scale-like pappus are easily distributed by the wind.
