A monothecous stamen has D) One chambered anther.

In botany, the term "monothecous" refers to a stamen that has a single chamber (locule) in its anther, as opposed to being polythecous, which would mean having multiple chambers in the anther. So, in a monothecous stamen, the anther has only one lobed chamber, which contains the pollen-producing structures.
