- A.A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
- B.A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
- C.A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- D.A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III✓
Correct Answer
(D) A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
Solution & Explanation
Stamen cohesion types with NCERT examples: monadelphous = one bundle (china rose), diadelphous = two bundles (pea), polyadelphous = more than two bundles (citrus); epiphyllous = stamens attached to the perianth as in lily. This gives A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III = option (d) = D. NCERT Reference: Ch 5, p.64, lines 30-35 — "epiphyllous when attached to the perianth as in the flowers of lily ... united into one bunch or one bundle (monoadelphous) as in china rose, or two bundles (diadelphous) as in pea, or into more than two bundles (polyadelphous) as in citrus."
