Correct answer: D
Diadelphous condition is a condition of
arrangement of filaments and stamen in
a flower, e.g. Pea. In this condition,
filaments of nine different stamens are
connected into one unit and the tenth
posterior stamen remains out of the
bundle as a stand part.
The androecium of pea flower is
diadelphous because the filaments of
the anther are united in two bundles. In
the case of pea, out of ten, nine stamens
form a staminal tube while one is free.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Pea' which
exhibit diadelphous condition
China rose has monoadelphous stamens while, Citrus has polyadelhphous stamens. Monoadelphous stamens are grouped in single bundle whereas polyadelphous stamens occur in more than two bundles.
