Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Date palm is dioecious, not monoecious. This is not correctly matched. In Date palms, the male and female flowers develop on separate individuals.Papaya is polygamous, with three primary sex types: female, male and bisexual. There are some cases where plants produce more than one kind of flower at the same time.
Walnut trees are monoecious, meaning a single tree contains both male (catkin) and female (pistillate) flowers, allowing the trees to self-pollinate.
Pistachio nut Plants are dioecious, with separate male and female trees. The flowers are apetalous and unisexual and borne in panicles.
