Solution

The correct option is A Unisexual flower of papaya
Self-fertilization, the fusion of male and female gametes (sex cells) produced by the same individual. Self-fertilization occurs in bisexual organisms, including most flowering plants. A unisexual flower possesses either stamens or carpels but not both. A plant may be unisexual (dioecious), possessing only male flowers or female flowers. Papaya flower is called unisexual because it posses either male or female reproductive part. The features of unisexual flowers are that they are aromatic and colorful so that they could attract insects for transfer of pollen grains.
So, the correct answer is 'Unisexual flower of papaya'.
