A Correct answer
Explanation

The anthers of stamens can be found facing the centre or the periphery of the flowers. When the anthers face the centre or the gynoecium and dehisce longitudinally while facing the carpel or gynoecium, the condition is called introrse. When the anthers face the periphery or the petals and dehisce away from the carpel, the condition is called extrorse.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Introrse'
