The correct Answer is:
To determine which plant has both suckers and edible fruits, we will analyze the options provided: Citrus, Pineapple, Banana, and Mint. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Suckers**: - Suckers are a type of stem modification that allows a plant to reproduce asexually. They typically emerge from nodes close to the ground and can grow horizontally underground before emerging as new plants. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Citrus**: - Citrus plants produce edible fruits (like oranges and lemons), but they do not reproduce through suckers. They primarily reproduce through seeds and grafting. - **Pineapple**: - Pineapples can produce suckers. They have a modified stem that allows for vegetative propagation. Additionally, pineapples produce edible fruits, which are composite fruits formed from the entire inflorescence. - **Banana**: - Bananas also produce suckers. They have a modified stem that allows for vegetative propagation. Bananas produce edible fruits, classified as berries. - **Mint**: - Mint has a stem modification that allows for vegetative propagation, but it does not produce edible fruits. Instead, it produces small flowers and leaves that are used for flavoring. 3. **Conclusion**: - From the analysis, both Pineapple and Banana have suckers and produce edible fruits. Therefore, the correct answer is **iii) Banana and ii) Pineapple**. ### Final Answer: The plants with suckers and edible fruits are **ii) Pineapple and iii) Banana**. ---
