Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The ovary of the family Liliaceae is Trilocular superior with axil placentation.
The lily family, Liliaceae, consists of about 15 genera and 610 species of flowering plants within the order Liliales. They are monocotyledonous, perennial, herbaceous, and often bulbous geophytes.
It has a characteristic flower with parts arranged in threes, with six coloured or patterned petaloid tepals arranged in two whorls, six stamens and a superior ovary.
Superior ovary (hypogynous), syncarpous (with fused carpels), with three connate (fused) carpels and trilocular (three locules, or chambers).
There is a single style and a three-lobed stigma or three stigmata more or less elongated along the style. Numerous anatropous ovules display axile placentation, usually with an integument and thinner megasporangium.
