Explanation:

In a flower, when more than one free carpels are present, the ovary is called apocarpous ovary. In a flower, when more than one carpels are found and they are fused, the ovary is called syncarpous ovary.

Here your answer

If a gynoecium has a single carpel, it is called monocarpous. If a gynoecium has multiple, distinct (free, unfused) carpels, it is apocarpous. If a gynoecium has multiple carpels "fused" into a single structure, it is syncarpous.

A syncarpous gynoecium can sometimes appear very much like a monocarpous gynoecium.
