The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the characteristics of the gynoecium in the given plant options and identify which one does not have a unilocular structure with multiple ovules. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Gynoecium Structure**: - Gynoecium refers to the female reproductive part of a flower, which consists of one or more carpels. - A unilocular gynoecium means it has a single chamber, while multiple ovules indicate that there are several ovules present within that chamber. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Trifolium**: This plant belongs to the Fabaceae family. The gynoecium in Trifolium is unilocular with multiple ovules. - **Lupinus (Lupine)**: Also part of the Fabaceae family, Lupinus has a unilocular gynoecium with multiple ovules. - **Sibania**: This is another member of the Fabaceae family and similarly has a unilocular structure with multiple ovules. - **Petunia**: Petunia belongs to the Solanaceae family. In Petunia, the gynoecium is bicarpellary (two carpels) and bilocular (two chambers), which means it does not fit the description of being unilocular. 3. **Conclusion**: - The question asks for the exception where the gynoecium is not unilocular with multiple ovules. - Since Petunia has a bicarpellary and bilocular gynoecium, it is the correct answer. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Petunia**. ---
