The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Flower Symmetry**: - The pea flower exhibits a specific type of symmetry. It is important to determine whether the flower is zygomorphic (bilateral symmetry) or actinomorphic (radial symmetry). - In the case of the pea flower, it has only one plane of symmetry, which indicates that it is zygomorphic. 2. **Identifying the Type of Symmetry**: - Since the pea flower has bilateral symmetry, it is classified as zygomorphic. This means that it can be divided into two mirror-image halves along one plane. 3. **Analyzing the Stamens**: - The next aspect to consider is the arrangement of the stamens in the pea flower. The stamens are the male reproductive parts of the flower. - In the pea flower, the filaments of the stamens unite to form two groups. This arrangement is referred to as diadelphus. 4. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - The question presents multiple options regarding the symmetry and arrangement of stamens. - Since the pea flower is zygomorphic, options that describe it as actinomorphic (which would imply radial symmetry) are incorrect. - Additionally, options that describe the stamens as monoadelphus (one group) or polyadelphus (many groups) are also incorrect, as the pea flower has two groups of stamens. 5. **Concluding the Correct Answer**: - Therefore, the correct description of the pea flower is that it is zygomorphic with diadelphus stamens. ### Final Answer: The pea flower is zygomorphic with diadelphus stamens. ---
