Question

A plant having both male and female flowers is said to be ______.
Options
A Polygyny
B Protandry
C Monoecious
Correct Answer
D Dioecious
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A monoecious plant has both male and female reproductive organs (flowers, in this case) on the same individual plant. Dioecious plants have male and female flowers on separate plants. Protandry refers to male organs maturing before female organs.

Hint

The prefix 'mono-' means one or single. Consider what 'one' plant having both reproductive parts means.
