The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Diclini**: - Diclini refers to the condition where a flower has only one type of reproductive organ, meaning it can be either male or female but not both. This is also known as unisexuality. 2. **Identifying the Types of Plants**: - The question provides four options: Calotropis, Cucurbita, Crotalaria, and Pisum. We need to determine which of these exhibits Diclini. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Calotropis**: This plant has bisexual flowers, meaning it contains both male and female reproductive organs in the same flower. Therefore, it does not exhibit Diclini. - **Cucurbita**: This plant can have both male and female flowers on the same plant (monoecious), meaning it exhibits Diclini since it has unisexual flowers. - **Crotalaria**: Similar to Calotropis, this plant also has bisexual flowers, so it does not exhibit Diclini. - **Pisum**: This plant also has bisexual flowers, thus it does not exhibit Diclini. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the options given, only **Cucurbita** exhibits Diclini as it has unisexual flowers (either male or female) on the same plant. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Cucurbita**. ---
