Solution

(d) (ii) and (iv)

The reproductive parts of angiosperms are located in the flower. The flower may be unisexual when it contains either stamens or carpels (ex: papaya, watermelon) or it may be bisexual when it contains both stamens and carpels (ex: Hibiscus, mustard). Eventually after fertilization, they give rise to fruits.
