Placentation in tomato and lemon is
A
parietal
B
free central
C
marginal
D
axile
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Axile’

Detailed explanation-2: -Complete answer: 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-3: -Lemon shows axile placentation where the ovary is sectioned by radial spokes with placentas in separate locules.

Detailed explanation-4: -If the placenta is located axially on a central column, this creates a partition or chambers thus separating the attached ovaries from the placenta. This is called axile placentation.

Detailed explanation-5: -The placentation is axile when there are septa which divide the ovary into two or more locules. The ovules are attached along the central axis, in the inner angle formed by the septa. Parietal placentation: there is no septum, so that the ovary is unilocular.
