Solution
The correct option is D Solanaceae
The features mentioned above are a characteristic of the family Solanaceae. A pentamerous actinomorphic flower is one where the floral parts are in multiples of five and the flower can be divided into two equal halves in more than one plane. Gynoecium is bicarpellary, syncarpous, forming a superior bilocular ovary. Each locule has many ovules in axile placentation. Members of solanaceae are characterized by the presence of an obliquely placed septum in the ovary and highly swollen placentae. The oblique septum is probably due to shifting in the position of the ovary.
