Answer 1

Answer: (A)

A-$3$, B-$1$, C-$4$, D-$2$

Verticillaster inflorescence is present in Leucas, here flowers are white, small, and directly attached to the base without a peduncle or stalk. The flowers are held together in auxiliary whorls or dense terminals. They contain 6 mm long bracts equaling the calyx that is bristle-tipped, linear, acute and is "ciliate with long slender hairs"

Coriander fruit is a globular, dry schizocarp 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) in diameter. Pollen size is approximately 33 microns.

The fleshy oblique axile placenta is seen in Solanum

Syngenesious is the condition in which the anthers of the stamens are fused while the filaments remain free. it is a characteristic feature of the family Asteraceae and can be seen in the flowers belonging to the family-like sunflower (Helianthus) and Tridax.

Hence, the correct answer is (A)
