Solution:

Option (a) represents axile placentation as seen in China rose. It is a type of placentation, which occurs in syncarpous pistils. Ovary is partitioned into or more chambers. Placentae occur in the central region where the septa meet so that an axile column bearing ovules is formed. In China rose, ovary is pentalocular.
