The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about the condition of a flower having many fused pistils, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Components**: Recognize that the term "pistil" refers to the female reproductive part of a flower, which is made up of the ovary, style, and stigma. 2. **Identify the Condition**: The question specifies that there are "many pistils" that are "fused." This indicates that the pistils are not separate but are joined together. 3. **Terminology**: In botanical terms, when multiple pistils are fused together, the condition is referred to as "syncarpous." The prefix "syn-" means "together" or "fused." 4. **Contrast with Other Conditions**: It is also helpful to know the opposite condition, which is "apocarpous," where the pistils are free and not fused. The prefix "apo-" means "free." 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the condition where a flower has many fused pistils is called "syncarpous." ### Final Answer: The condition is called **syncarpous**.
