The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement provided and determine which one is correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement (a)**: "Tetrasporic embryo sac occurs in Peperomia." - In Peperomia, the embryo sac is indeed tetrasporic, which means it develops from four megaspores. This statement is **correct**. 2. **Evaluate Statement (b)**: "Stamens are epipetalous in Grevillea." - The term "epipetalous" refers to stamens that are attached to the petals. In Grevillea, the stamens are not epipetalous, making this statement **incorrect**. 3. **Evaluate Statement (c)**: "Cross pollination in Kigellia pinnata takes place by snails." - Cross-pollination in Kigellia pinnata is primarily facilitated by bats, not snails. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Evaluate Statement (d)**: "In Scrophularia, androecium matures earlier than gynoecium." - In Scrophularia, both the androecium (male reproductive structure) and gynoecium (female reproductive structure) mature at the same time, indicating that this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: The only correct statement among the options provided is: **(a) Tetrasporic embryo sac occurs in Peperomia.**
