The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Monocarpic Plants**: - Monocarpic plants are defined as those that flower only once in their lifetime. After they flower, they produce seeds and then die. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: "Flowers twice in every year" - This does not describe monocarpic plants, as they only flower once in their lifetime. - **Option B**: "Bears only one type of flowers" - This is not a defining characteristic of monocarpic plants. - **Option C**: "Flowers once in every year" - This is misleading; monocarpic plants flower once in their entire life, not just once a year. - **Option D**: "Dies after flowering once in its life cycle" - This accurately describes monocarpic plants. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the definitions and the analysis of the options, the correct answer is **Option D**, which states that monocarpic plants die after flowering once in their life cycle. 4. **Examples**: - Common examples of monocarpic plants include wheat, rice, and carrot, which all flower once, set seeds, and then die. ### Final Answer: **Option D: Dies after flowering once in its life cycle.** ---
