The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristics of a plant and identify its family, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Characteristics**: - The plant has a **racemose inflorescence**. - It has **zygomorphic flowers**. - The flowers consist of **five sepals and five petals**. - The petals show **vexillary aestivation**. - It has a **monocarpellary and unilocular superior ovary**. - The androecium consists of **ten stamens**. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option 1: Solanaceae**: - This family typically has cymose inflorescence, which does not match the given racemose inflorescence. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: Fabaceae**: - This family is known for having racemose inflorescence, zygomorphic flowers, five sepals and petals, vexillary aestivation, a monocarpellary ovary, and ten stamens. This matches all the characteristics given in the question. Thus, this is a strong candidate. - **Option 3: Liliaceae**: - Members of this family usually have actinomorphic flowers, which do not match the zygomorphic requirement. Hence, this option is incorrect. - **Option 4: Brassicaceae**: - This family also typically has actinomorphic flowers and does not meet the zygomorphic criterion. Therefore, this option is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only family that fits all the provided characteristics is **Fabaceae**. ### Final Answer: The plant belongs to the **Fabaceae** family. ---
