The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements about Cleistogamy, let's analyze each statement step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze the Statements 1. **Statement (i): Reported in Viola, Oxalis, Commelina.** - This statement is **true**. Cleistogamy is indeed reported in these plants. 2. **Statement (ii): Flowers are invariably automatous.** - This statement is also **true**. Cleistogamous flowers are typically self-pollinating (autogamous) because they do not open. 3. **Statement (iii): Pollinators are required for seed set.** - This statement is **false**. In cleistogamous flowers, pollinators are not required for seed set since the flowers remain closed and self-pollination occurs. 4. **Statement (iv): Anthesis is absent.** - This statement is **true**. Anthesis refers to the opening of flowers, which does not occur in cleistogamous flowers. ### Step 2: Count the Incorrect Statements - From the analysis: - Statement (i): True - Statement (ii): True - Statement (iii): False - Statement (iv): True Only **one statement** (statement iii) is incorrect. ### Conclusion Thus, the answer to the question "How many statements are incorrect?" is **1**. ---
