The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Plants**: The question asks about Bryophyllum, Scilla, and Begonia. We need to find out what they have in common. 2. **Examine the Options**: We are provided with multiple options regarding the characteristics of these plants. The options include: - A) They are members of the family Liliaceae. - B) They reproduce only sexually. - C) They reproduce through leaves vegetatively. - D) They all lack heterospory. 3. **Analyze Option A**: Check if Bryophyllum, Scilla, and Begonia belong to the family Liliaceae. - **Conclusion**: This is incorrect. Bryophyllum belongs to the family Crassulaceae, while Scilla belongs to the family Asparagaceae, and Begonia belongs to the family Begoniaceae. 4. **Analyze Option B**: Determine if these plants reproduce only sexually. - **Conclusion**: This is also incorrect. All three plants can reproduce vegetatively, in addition to sexual reproduction. 5. **Analyze Option C**: Investigate if they reproduce through leaves vegetatively. - **Conclusion**: This is correct. Bryophyllum, Scilla, and Begonia can reproduce vegetatively through their leaves. Bryophyllum is particularly known for this method, as it can produce new plants from leaf cuttings. 6. **Analyze Option D**: Check if they all lack heterospory. - **Conclusion**: This is incorrect. Heterospory refers to the production of two different types of spores, and while these plants may not exhibit heterospory, this is not a common characteristic that defines them. 7. **Final Conclusion**: The common characteristic among Bryophyllum, Scilla, and Begonia is that they all reproduce through leaves vegetatively. ### Answer: **They all reproduce through leaves vegetatively.** ---
