Answer 1

The correct option is A

The technical term used for the stamen arrangement in a flower of China rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is monadelphous, a condition where all the stamens in a given flower are fused to form a single bundle. When stamens are grouped into two bundles, it is called diadelphous, and when arranged into more than two bundles, it is called polyadelphous condition. In the polyandrous condition, all stamens are free from each other.
