• D. $\left(i\right)$ and $\left(iii\right)$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$\left(i\right)$ and $\left(iii\right)$

Flowering plants are developed from seeds. All flowering plants show sexual reproduction with end products as the fruits and seeds.

The male and female reproductive structures androecium and gynoecium are found in the same flower. Fertilisation can take place in all flowers.

So statement (i) and (iii) are correct.
