The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "All given members are monoecious, except," we need to identify which of the listed organisms is dioecious. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms:** - **Monoecious:** An organism that has both male and female reproductive organs in the same individual. - **Dioecious:** An organism that has male and female reproductive organs in separate individuals. 2. **Analyze the Options:** - **Option A: Marchantia** - Marchantia is known as liverwort and is classified as dioecious. This means it has separate male and female individuals. - **Option B: Funeria** - Funeria is a type of moss that is monoecious, meaning it has both male (antheridia) and female (archegonia) reproductive organs in the same individual. - **Option C: Anthoceros** - Anthoceros can be either monoecious or dioecious, but it is often considered monoecious in many contexts. - **Option D: Sphagnum** - Sphagnum moss is also typically monoecious, having both male and female reproductive structures in the same plant. 3. **Identify the Exception:** - From the analysis, Marchantia (Option A) is the only organism that is dioecious, while the others (Funeria, Anthoceros, and Sphagnum) are monoecious. 4. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the correct answer is **Option A: Marchantia**. It is the only member that is dioecious among the options provided. ### Final Answer: **Option A: Marchantia** ---
