Select incorrect pairing:
Options

- BSyncarpous - carpels fused - mustard, tomato
- CAxile Placentation - lemon, tomato
- DFormation of false septum - mustard, Dianthus
Correct answer
D. Formation of false septum - mustard, Dianthus
Step-by-step solution
In parietal placentation, the ovules develop on the inner wall of the ovary or on the peripheral part. The ovary is one-chambered but it becomes two-chambered due to the formation of the false septum, e.g., mustard and Argemone . When the ovules are borne on central axis and septa are absent, as in Dianthus and Primrose the placentation is called free central.
