Solution

The correct option is A K2+2C4A2+4G(2)

It is the flowers that make Brassicaceae one of our easier families to recognize. They are (usually) radially symmetric, with 4 sepals, 4 petals, 6 stamens (2 short and 4 long), and a single bilocular pistil having parietal placentation. Also, there is no other tetramerous family with 6 stamens and no other family with the combination of 2 locules and parietal placentation. The 6 stamens are also unusual in being of two lengths, 4 long and 2 short.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
