    1. Leguminosae
    2. Liliaceae

Correct Option: C

The loose union of structure of the same whorl is called cohesion, but the intimate histological union is called connation. When anthers are fused with each other, the condition is described as syngenesious e.g., Compositae, Lobeliaceae. This fusion is called cohesion. When there is fusion of stamens with petals, they are described as epipetalous e.g., Gamopetale.
