Detailed explanation-1: -Axile type of placentation is seen in lemon and tomato. In this type of placentation, the ovary is partitioned into two or more chambers by septa. The placenta is formed in the central region where all the septa intersect or meet and therefore an axle column bearing ovules is formed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Axile placentation occurs in syncarpous pistils. The ovary is partitioned into two or more chambers. Placentae occur in the central region where the septa meet so that an axile column bearing ovules is formed e.g., shoe flower (pentalocular), lemon (multilocular), etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -In both the tomato and lemon, the ovary is multilocular and the ovules are borne on the central placenta. This type of placentation is called the axile placentation. Apart from tomato and lemon, Hibiscus, Allium and Solarium also show axile placentation. Hence, the correct answer is ‘Axile’

Detailed explanation-4: -So the correct option is ‘lemon’

Detailed explanation-5: -An example of axile placentation is lemon.
