Correct Answer: Fabaceae family


Solution : The correct option is the Fabaceae family.

Flowers in the Fabaceae family, particularly in the subfamily Papilionoideae, exhibit zygomorphy. This means the flower can be divided into two halves through one plane, creating bilateral symmetry. A complete flower has all four main floral parts— sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. Fabaceae flowers are generally complete.
