Solution
The correct option is B
Helianthus
In Asteraceae, the pistil is bicarpellary, syncarpous, inferior,
unilocular with a single anatropous ovule, style simple and long,
stigma bifid. The anatropous ovule is a completely inverted ovule
which turned back 180° on its stalk. Hence, the pistil is
bicarpellary but ovary is unilocular and uniovuled in Helianthus,
a member of Asteraceae family. So, the correct
answer is 'Helianthus'.
