ADegeneria

BGynandropsis

CNymphaea

DRose

Answer:

B. Gynandropsis

Read Explanation:

  • An androphore is a stalk that elevates the stamens in a flower. It is a distinctive feature in the family Capparaceae, to which Gynandropsis belongs.

  • Degeneria: This is a genus of primitive flowering plants, but it does not have an androphore.

  • Nymphaea: Commonly known as water lilies, these flowers have stamens that are often attached to the receptacle, not on a distinct stalk.

  • Rose (Rosa): Roses belong to the family Rosaceae. Their stamens are typically arranged in multiple whorls and are attached to the hypanthium (a cup-like structure), not an androphore.
