Reason: Each sporophyll bears only one microsparangia.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Pinus is monoecious as it bears both types of cones on the same tree on separate branches. The male cone consists of a number of small spirally arranged microsporophylls. Each microsprocphyll bears two microsporangia or pollen sacs as swelling on the lower surface of its horizontal position.
