Model Answer

(C) Mustard

Mustard is a bisexual (hermaphrodite) flower as it contains both stamens and pistil. Papaya and watermelon are unisexual flowers.

Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "the flower may be unisexual (papaya, watermelon)… or bisexual (Hibiscus, mustard)." Bisexual = both male (stamen) and female (pistil) parts in the same flower. Corn/maize is also unisexual. Option C is the only correct answer.
