Which statement correctly describes a monocarpic plant?

1. A plant that blooms and sets seeds only once before perishing, such as bamboo.
2. A plant that undergoes sexual reproduction multiple times during its lifespan, like jackfruit, papaya, and mango.
3. A plant that forms seeds asexually from ovule tissues without meiosis or fertilization.
4. A plant that produces seeds through vegetative reproduction without flowering.

Correct answer: A plant that blooms and sets seeds only once before perishing, such as bamboo.

Solution

A monocarpic plant flowers, sets seed, and then dies after that single reproductive episode. Bamboo is a classic example because many species flower once in their lifetime and then perish.
