Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Bamboo species are known for their unique flowering pattern, where they typically flower only once in their lifetime, a phenomenon known as monocarpic flowering. After flowering and producing seeds, the bamboo plant usually dies. This is in contrast to other plants like mango, jackfruit, and papaya, which can flower and fruit multiple times throughout their lives.
