The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Unisexual Flowers**: - Unisexual flowers are those that contain only one type of reproductive organ, either male (stamens) or female (carpels). This means they cannot self-pollinate because they lack the necessary parts to do so. 2. **Definition of Emasculation**: - Emasculation is the process of removing the male reproductive parts (stamens) from a flower. This is typically done in bisexual flowers to prevent self-pollination and to facilitate controlled cross-pollination. 3. **Application of Emasculation**: - In the case of unisexual flowers, since they are either male or female, emasculation is not necessary. If a flower is male, it does not have carpels, and if it is female, it does not have stamens. Therefore, there is no risk of self-pollination. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since emasculation is not applicable to unisexual flowers, the correct answer to the question is that emasculation is done in "none of these" (option D). ### Final Answer: - The correct option is **D: none of these**.
