Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

When a plant bears only one type of unisexual flowers, it is termed as dioecious.

Some plants possess three types of flowers ? perfect (intersexual), staminate and female or neuter.

They are called polygamous.

Polygamous plants as for example, mango and Cashewnut bear perfect and imperfect flowers on the same individual.
