Match List - I with List - II.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)

The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)

A. Some plants such as Viola (common pansy), Oxalis, and Commelina produce two types of flowers – chasmogamous flowers which are similar to flowers of other species with exposed anthers and stigma, and cleistogamous flowers which do not open at all.

B. Pollination by water is quite rare in flowering plants and is limited to about 30 genera, mostly monocotyledons.  Some examples of water pollinated plants are Vallisneria and Hydrilla which grow in fresh water and several marine sea-grasses such as Zostera. Not all aquatic plants use water for pollination. In a majority of aquatic plants such as water hyacinth and water lily, the flowers emerge above the level of water and are pollinated by insects or wind as in most of the land plants.

C. Certain plant species offer floral rewards by providing secure locations for egg-laying. One example is the tallest flower of Amorphophallus, which can reach a height of approximately 6 feet.

D. In papaya, male flowers contain stamens, while female flowers have pistils. These flowers grow on separate plants, meaning male and female flowers are found on different individuals. As a result, the flowers are unisexual, and the plants are classified as dioecious, since each plant exclusively produces either male or female flowers.
