Answer 1

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

The staminate flower is a unisexual flower, which contains the only androecium. The pistillate flower is a unisexual flower, which contains the only gynoecium.

Dioecious and monoecious plants actually have something in common, in that they both bear unisexual flowers.

So, the correct option is 'Both assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
