Solution

The correct option is C Reproductive phase
Phases in sexually reproducing organisms
Phases in sexually reproducing organisms are:
1) Juvenile phase - It is the pre-reproductive phase after birth during which the organism undergoes developmental changes to attain sexual maturity. This phase is called the vegetative phase in plants, and is followed by the reproductive phase.
2) Reproductive phase - In this phase the organism obtains sexual maturity and can reproduce. This phase is followed by the senescent phase.
3) Senescent phase- In this phase during which the organism gradually ages and loses the ability to reproduce.

Maturation phase
Maturation phase is the growth in plants during which plant cells, which have enlarged after being newly formed due to cell division, undergo maturation and differentiation. The cells undergo physical, morphological and biochemical transformations to take a specific size and form that suits their function or role in the plant body.

Flowering period
Flowering period is the time during which plants bear flowers or floral buds.
