D Correct answer
Explanation

A bisexual (hermaphrodite) flower contains both male (androecium - stamens) and female (gynoecium - pistils/carpels) reproductive parts. Monoecious plants have separate male and female flowers on the same individual, dioecious plants have them on separate individuals, and polygamous refers to plants with multiple sexual conditions.
