Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Axile placentation: In a multicarpellary syncarpous gynoecium the fusing margins grow inwards to meet in the center of the ovary to form an axis thus making the ovary multilocular.

The ovules are borne on the central axis.

e.g., Family Solanaceae and Liliaceae.
