Solution

The correct option is D Asclepiadaceae
An Asclepiadaceae flower has five anthers and each has two cells. All the pollen grains in each anther cell remain aggregated together at maturity to form a pollen mass or pollinia (pollinium is single pollen body). A pollinating insect carries away a pair of pollinia from the cells of two adjacent anthers.
So, the correct answer is option 'Asclepiadaceae'
