Vedclass · Answer

(C) Dioecy refers to the condition where male and female reproductive organs are present on separate individuals. In the given options, both $Papaya$ and $Date 	ext{ } palm$ are dioecious plants. However, in many standard biology textbooks, $Papaya$ is the most commonly cited example for dioecy. $Marchantia$ is also dioecious (thalli are male or female), but $Papaya$ is the classic example of a dioecious angiosperm. Since the question asks for a plant, and both $C$ and $D$ are technically correct, $Papaya$ is frequently the preferred answer in competitive examinations.
