Answer 1

The correct option is D Synandrous

Flowers with too many stamens to count are said to have indefinite stamens. Such condition is not observed in cucurbitaceae family.
Syngenesious stamens are united by their anthers only, filaments remaining free. This condition is not present in flowers of cucurbiotaceae family.
Monadelphous stamens are united by their filaments and anthers remain free. Such condition is not observed in cucurbitaceae family.
Synandrous stamens are united at their anthers as well as filaments. This condition is a characteristic feature of flowers of family cucurbitaceae.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
