Answer
B.
Adaptation for self-pollination
C.
Adaptation for vegetative propagation
D.
None of the above

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Monoecious condition is an adaptation for cross-pollination.
Monoecious is a sexual system in seed plants where separate male and female cones or flowers are present on the same plant.
It leads to cross pollination, where the pollens of one flower fertilize with the female flower of another plant.
It can prevent self-pollination in an individual flower but cannot prevent self-pollination between male and female flowers on the same plant.
