The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Dioecious Plants**: - Dioecious plants are those that have male and female reproductive structures on separate individuals. This means that one plant will produce only male flowers, while another will produce only female flowers. 2. **Defining Flower Types**: - A flower can be classified as complete or incomplete, bisexual or unisexual. - A complete flower contains all four main parts: sepals, petals, stamens (male organs), and carpels (female organs). - A bisexual flower contains both stamens and carpels, allowing it to produce both male and female gametes. 3. **Identifying Unisexual Flowers**: - Unisexual flowers are those that contain either stamens or carpels, but not both. - Since dioecious plants have separate male and female plants, the flowers on these plants are unisexual. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, a flower on a dioecious plant would be unisexual, as it will either be a male flower (with stamens) or a female flower (with carpels), but not both. **Final Answer**: A flower on a dioecious plant would be unisexual. ---
