Answer:

C) Most coniferous trees have both male and female cones.

Explanation:

  • Unlike flowering plants, conifers do not bear flowers. instead of flower they bear male and female cones.
  • The male cone produces the pollen and the female cone contains ovule which develop into seeds.
  • The reproductive cycle of a conifer begins in the spring when the male cone releases pollen in the wind and these pollen get trapped in the scales of female cones.
  • These pollen goes through a resting period and then fertilizes the ovule.that matures into seed.
  • The seeds of conifers are naked. i.e. not enclosed
