Solution

The correct option is D Cucumber
Monoecious describes a single plant that bears both male and female flowers. With monoecious plant species, each plant has some flowers with stamens and some flowers with pistils. A monoecious plant can reproduce (that is, bloom and set seed) all on its own. Cucumbers, like most cucurbit plants, produce separate male and female flowers on the same plant. In botanical terms, these plants are said to be monoecious.
So the correct option is 'cucumber'.
