Solution

The correct option is B Papaveraceae
Tricarpellary, unilocular ovary with three branched placentae is found in Papaveraceae. The flowers of this family are medium-sized or large. The terminal flowers are solitary in many species. In others the terminal inflorescence is cymose or racemose. The flowers are odourless and regular. There are many stamens, mostly 16 to 60, arranged in two separate whorls, the outer one with stamens alternating with petals, the inner one opposite. The gynoecium consists of a compound pistil with 2 to 100 carpels. The ovary is superior and unilocular. The ovary is either stemless or on a short stem. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
