The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the family that has pentamerous flowers with monoadelphous stamens and dry dehiscent fruits, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms**: - **Pentamerous Flowers**: These are flowers that have parts in multiples of five, meaning they typically have five petals and five sepals. - **Monoadelphous Stamens**: This term refers to stamens where all the filaments are fused together to form a single structure, rather than being separate. - **Dry Dehiscent Fruits**: These fruits open up upon maturity to release their seeds. 2. **Identify the Families**: - The question provides four families to consider: **Euminaceae, Malvaceae, Cruciferae, and Solanaceae**. - We need to determine which of these families exhibits the characteristics described. 3. **Analyze Each Family**: - **Euminaceae**: This family does not typically have the characteristics of pentamerous flowers or monoadelphous stamens. - **Malvaceae**: This family is known for having pentamerous flowers with monoadelphous stamens and dry dehiscent fruits. Examples include hibiscus and okra. - **Cruciferae (Brassicaceae)**: While this family has some dehiscent fruits, it does not typically have monoadelphous stamens. - **Solanaceae**: This family does not fit the criteria either, as it usually has a different floral structure. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the family that fits all the criteria of having pentamerous flowers, monoadelphous stamens, and dry dehiscent fruits is **Malvaceae**. ### Final Answer: **Malvaceae**
