Which of the following statements regarding reproduction in flowering plants is FALSE?

Correct option is C

Correct Answer: (C) Reproduction may occur through spores.

Explanation:
In flowering plants, reproduction primarily occurs through seeds (option A), and some plants can also reproduce through vegetative propagation, which involves fragments of stems (option B) or tissues grown on an artificial medium (option D), such as in tissue culture. However, flowering plants do not reproduce through spores (option C) as non-flowering plants like ferns or fungi do. Spores are used for reproduction in non-flowering plants, not in flowering plants.

Other Options:

• Reproduction may occur through seeds: This is true for flowering plants as they primarily reproduce via seeds.
• Reproduction may occur from fragments of stems: This is true as many plants reproduce vegetatively through cuttings or fragments of stems.
•  Reproduction may occur from tissues separated from the plant and grown on an artificial medium: This is also true and refers to tissue culture, a method used to clone plants.
