The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which family has a butterfly-shaped corolla, monocarpellary ovary, and zygomorphic flowers, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms**: - **Butterfly-shaped corolla**: This refers to a corolla that resembles the shape of a butterfly, which is typically found in certain flower families. - **Monocarpellary ovary**: This indicates that the flower has a single carpel, meaning it has only one ovary. - **Zygomorphic flowers**: These are flowers that exhibit bilateral symmetry, meaning they can be divided into two mirror-image halves. 2. **Identify the Flower Families**: - We have several options to consider: 1. Albinaceae 2. Solanaceae 3. Papilionaceae 4. Yew 5. Granule 3. **Analyze Each Family**: - **Albinaceae**: Not commonly associated with butterfly-shaped corollas. - **Solanaceae**: Known for a variety of flower shapes but not specifically butterfly-shaped or zygomorphic. - **Papilionaceae**: This family is characterized by flowers with a butterfly-shaped corolla, a monocarpellary ovary, and zygomorphic symmetry. - **Yew**: Typically refers to conifers and does not have these floral characteristics. - **Granule**: This is not a recognized flowering plant family. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the characteristics described, the family that fits all the criteria (butterfly-shaped corolla, monocarpellary ovary, and zygomorphic flowers) is **Papilionaceae** (also known as Fabaceae). ### Final Answer: The family with a butterfly-shaped corolla, monocarpellary ovary, and zygomorphic flowers is **Papilionaceae**. ---
