B
A plant with 2 different types of spores
C
A plant with 2 different generation; the gametophyte and sporophyte generations
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dioecious plants house the male and female flowers on different plants. So not only does the plant have separate male/female flowers, they have male plants (with only male flowers) and female plants (with only female flowers). Hollies and asparagus are dioecious.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Dioecious plants are those plants that have male and female flowers on separate plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pollen can fertilize the ovules that are inside the same flower. (B) Outcrossing dioecious plants, in which one plant has only female flowers and another has only male flowers. The pollen from the male plant needs to travel to the ovules inside the flower of the female plant in order to fertilize them.

Detailed explanation-4: -A plant which contains only male reproductive structures or female reproductive structures in its flowers is called a dioecious plant. Dioecious plants are known as imperfect flowers because they only have one sex organ. Examples: willow, spinach, date palm, hemp etc.

Detailed explanation-5: -In dioecious species, the sexes are separate. Generally, the male gonads ripen first in hermaphroditic animals (protandry); this tends to ensure cross-fertilization. Self-fertilization is normal, however, in many species, and some species undergo sex reversal.
