Solution

The correct option is D Filaments are free from each other.
Stamens are the male reproductive organ of the flower. Each stamen consists of two parts - the bilobed structure called the anther and the stalk is called the filament.
The stamens are collectively called the androecium.
On the basis of their arrangement, stamens can be classified into four types -
  • Polyandrous - Filaments are free of each other.
  • Monadelphous - Filaments are united in one group.
  • Diadelphous - Filaments are united in two groups.
  • Polyadelphous - Filaments are united in multiple groups.
