Solution

The correct option is C Gynandrous
EXPLANATION: The fusion of stamens with each other is called cohesion of stamens. Monoadelphous is under adelphous, which is a type of cohesion of stamen. In monoadelphous all filaments unite to form a single bundle. In family malvaceae (Hibiscus) monoadelphous can be seen. In gynandrous the adhesion of stamen and pistil occur together. When the anther of the stamenn are united and the filaments remain free, that type of cohesion of stamen is called syngenesious. e.g., Sunflower.
So, the correct answer is 'Gynandrous'
