The correct Answer is:
To determine the common character between the families Liliaceae, Malvaceae, and Solanaceae, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Families**: We are looking at three plant families: Liliaceae, Malvaceae, and Solanaceae. 2. **Examine the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Exile placentation - B) Cohesion of stamens - C) Monoadelphous stamens - D) Other characteristics 3. **Analyze Exile Placentation**: - Exile placentation refers to the arrangement of ovules in the ovary where they are attached to the central axis. - This type of placentation is indeed found in all three families: Liliaceae (e.g., onion), Malvaceae (e.g., cotton), and Solanaceae (e.g., potato). 4. **Check Cohesion of Stamens**: - In Liliaceae, stamens are fused in two bundles (3 + 3). - In Malvaceae, stamens are fused in a single bundle, but they can be more than five. - In Solanaceae, stamens are free and exactly five in number. - Since the cohesion of stamens differs among these families, this cannot be a common character. 5. **Evaluate Monoadelphous Condition**: - Monoadelphous means that stamens are present in a single bundle. - In Liliaceae, they are in two bundles; in Malvaceae, they are in a single bundle; and in Solanaceae, they are free. - Therefore, this condition is not common across all three families. 6. **Conclude the Common Character**: - After analyzing the options, we find that the only common character among Liliaceae, Malvaceae, and Solanaceae is **exile placentation**. - Thus, the correct answer is option A: **Exile placentation**. ### Final Answer: The character common between Liliaceae, Malvaceae, and Solanaceae is **exile placentation**.
