Solution

The correct option is B Gynostegium
The stamens and the style and stigma of carpel fused to form a unit called gynostegium. It is a feature of Asclepiadaceae. It is also called gynandrium. Syngnesious is the condition of androecium when the anthers are fused but the filaments are free. In synandrous condition, the stamens are united along their length.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Gynostegium'.
