A
Apocyanaceae
💡 Explanation:
Rauwolfia serpentina (Indian snakeroot) belongs to the family Apocynaceae. The spelling in option D has a minor typo (Apocyanaceae instead of Apocynaceae) but is clearly the intended answer. This plant is the source of reserpine, an important alkaloid used for hypertension.
