The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cohesion of Stamens**: - The term "cohesion of stamens" refers to the phenomenon where the stamens (the male reproductive parts of a flower) are united or fused together. 2. **Types of Cohesion**: - There are different types of cohesion of stamens, one of which is known as "diadelphous". 3. **Definition of Diadelphous Condition**: - Diadelphous cohesion of stamens is a specific condition where the filaments of the stamens are united together. 4. **Characteristics of Diadelphous Stamens**: - In this condition, the filaments are fused to form two distinct bundles. - Importantly, the anthers (the pollen-producing part of the stamen) remain free and are not fused. 5. **Etymology of the Term**: - The prefix "di-" means two, indicating that there are two bundles formed from the united filaments. The term "adelphous" refers to the cohesion of stamens. 6. **Example of Diadelphous Condition**: - A common example of diadelphous stamens can be found in pea plants (scientific name: *Pisum sativum*). 7. **Visual Representation**: - A diagram can help illustrate the diadelphous condition, showing the two bundles of united filaments and the free anthers.
