Solution

The correct option is D dioecious
When male and female flowers are borne on different plants, they are called dioecious plants. Heterothallic species have sexes that reside in different individuals and reproduce by cross-fertilization such as Marchantia. Heterogamteic condition denotes the sex that possesses dissimilar sex chromosomes.
When both the male and female characteristics are identified on a single plant, that plant is known to have bisexual flower. Monoecious plants have male and female sex organs in the same individual.
