The correct Answer is:
To determine the classification of Funaria, we need to analyze the options given: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Heteroecious**: Refers to species that have separate male and female plants. - **Dioecious**: Similar to heteroecious, it means that male and female reproductive structures are on separate plants. - **Monoecious**: Refers to species that have both male and female reproductive structures on the same plant. - **Trioecious**: Refers to species that have three types of sexual plants (male, female, and hermaphrodite). 2. **Identifying Funaria**: - Funaria is a type of moss. It is known to have both male (antheridia) and female (archegonia) reproductive structures on the same plant. This characteristic indicates that it is monoecious. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since Funaria possesses both male and female reproductive organs on the same plant, it is classified as **monoecious**. Thus, the correct answer is **(c) Monoecious**.
