C) Male and female sex organs are on the same individual
D) All the stamens are fused to form one unit

Answer 1

Hint: Plants are the important member in the food web. They generally classified as two types as monecious plants and dioecious plants or in another word unisexual or bisexual plants.

Complete answer:
The plant is the member of kingdom plantae and also a living organism that uses photosynthesis in which energy from the sunlight is converted to chemical energy that is food. They are the base of the food web and are autotrophs, which means they make their own food.

Monecious plants in which male and female flowers are found in the same plants. The banana is one of the best examples of a monoecious plant with male and female flowers. The plant develops one huge inflorescence that has rows of male and female flowers. Squash is another example for this. Only about half of the blooms that we get on a squash plant will build up fruit because only half are female.

Many of the plants which are seen in the garden are monoecious with perfect flowers, those with male and female parts in the same flower. For instance, lilies are monoecious, perfect plants.Other examples for monecious plants include Cucurbit, Chara and Coconut.

Unisexual plants are generally known as dioecious plants which do not have the female and male flowers on the one plant. Some of the examples for dioecious plants include Date palm, Papaya, and Marchantia.
Monecious plants have the ability to allocate resources separately to male and female functions more easily than hermaphrodites. These are very effective against environmental stresses such as leafy herbivory.So we can conclude that monecious plants are plants with both male and female sex organs on the same individual.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Note: Plants that have both female and male sexual organs or flowers called Monoecious plants. These male and female parts are situated at different locations on the plant.
