The correct Answer is:
To find the mismatch among the given options regarding plant reproduction, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dioecious and Monoecious Plants**: - **Dioecious**: Plants that have separate male and female individuals. This means that one plant will produce only male flowers (with stamens) and another plant will produce only female flowers (with pistils). - **Monoecious**: Plants that have both male and female reproductive structures on the same individual. This means that a single plant can produce both male and female flowers. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - **Statement**: "Date palm exhibits dioecious condition." - **Analysis**: This is correct. Date palms are indeed dioecious, meaning they have separate male and female plants. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - **Statement**: "Cucurbits exhibit monoecious condition." - **Analysis**: This is also correct. Cucurbits (like cucumbers and pumpkins) are monoecious, having both male and female flowers on the same plant. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - **Statement**: "Khara exhibits dioecious condition." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Khara (a type of seagrass) is monoecious, meaning it has both male and female reproductive structures on the same plant. Therefore, this is the mismatch. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - **Statement**: "Cocos exhibits monoecious condition." - **Analysis**: This is correct. The coconut plant (Cocos) is monoecious, producing both male and female flowers on the same plant. ### Conclusion: The mismatch is found in **Option C**, where it incorrectly states that Khara exhibits a dioecious condition when it is actually monoecious. ### Final Answer: The mismatch is **Option C**: "Khara exhibits dioecious condition." ---
