Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Papaya is a polygamous plant with various sex forms (pistilate, hermaphrodite and staminate).
Statement (II): Pistilate form is stable and sex reversal is not affected by environmental factors.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Hint:

Because the pistillate form is stable, it consistently produces fruit. However, hermaphrodite papaya varieties are preferred in some markets due to their elongated fruit shape.
