Solution

The correct option is D Pistillate
  • A unisexual flower is a flower that contains three whorls as petals, sepals, the male reproductive structure (stamen) or the female reproductive structure (pistil). Hence it is also called an incomplete flower.
  • A unisexual flower having no androecium is called a pistillate flower because the pistil or the gynoecium is the female reproductive part of the flower. Thus the correct answer is option D.
