The correct option is B

Both A and R are correct and R does not explain A


Monocarpic plants are plants that produce flowers and fruits only once in their lifetime. Most annuals and biennials are monocarpic and produce flowers once in their lifetime, however there are some plants like bamboo and Neelakurinji that have a very long vegetative phase and finally produces flowers and fruits and then perish. But most perennials are usually polycarpic, that is, they produce flowers and fruits many times in their lifetime.
