Solution
The correct option is B Malvaceae
Monoadelphous androecium refers to condition in which all the filaments of the stamens are united into a single bundle around the style of the carpel, but anthers remain free. In the Malvaceae family, the androecium consists of very numerous monadelphous stamens with apically divergent filaments bearing 1-celled anthers.
On the other hand, the Liliaceae family has 2 or 3 stamens (trimerous), Cruciferae mostly has 6 free stamens in 2 whorls (2 shorter, 4 longer) and Compositae has 5 connate stamens.
So, the correct option is 'C'.
