Solution

The correct option is C Syngenesious
The androecium of a flower can show varying degrees of cohesion, that is union amongst the stamens themselves and adhesion, that is union with other floral parts. In a condition when the anthers are fused with each other but the filaments are free is called syngenesious.
A. In monadelphous condition, the filaments are united to form a single bundle while their anthers are free.
B. In synandrous condition, the stamens are united in their whole length.
C. In syngenesious condition, the anthers are fused with each other but the filaments are free.
D. In epipetalous condition, the stamens are fused with petals.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Syngenesious'.
