Answer: (C)

Dioecious organisms are seen in both plants and animals

Dioecious organisms are those in which male and female parts are present on different organisms whereas monoecious organisms are those in which male and female parts are present on the same organism. Monoecious organisms are also called as hermaphrodite. Dioecious organisms are seen in both plants and animals. Papaya, date palm and most of the animals are dioecious.
