Hint: Dioecious is the condition of unisexuality. When both male or female flowers are present on the same plant then this condition is known as dioecious.

Complete answer:
1.Monoecious :- The condition when both the male and the female flower are present on the same plant and they can pollinate with each other then this condition is known as the Monoecious and it is also known as the bisexuality.
They don’t use much external help for the process of pollination.

2.Dioecious :- The condition when exclusively either male or female only one type of flowers is present on one plant then it is known as dioecious and this condition is also known as the condition of unisexuality .

Both male and female plants are required here for completing the protest of pollination in dioecious plants.
papaya is one of the best examples of the dioecious plants, as in papaya both the male and the female flowers are present in two different plants, they can never be on the same plant.
So from the above detail we can say that the statement papaya is a dioecious plant is absolutely true.

Hence the correct answer is OPTION(A)

Note: 1.Some more examples of dioecious plants are Africa teak, willows, cannabis, and ginkgo.
2.Some examples of Monoecious plants are corn, pines, oak, squashes and spruce.
3.Some plants including mosses and the algae are also known as Monoecious as they have both male and female reproductive parts in the same organism.
