Solution

Correct option: (B) (ii), (iii) and (iv)

Unisexual flowers have either male or the female parts. So, they possess either stamen or pistil.

Pistil bears an ovary and fruit is formed from the matured ovary post fertilisation.

They can undergo self-pollination if male and female flowers are present in the same plant or cross pollination if flowers are in different plants.
