To solve this problem, we need to identify the mismatch among the given options related to plant characteristics. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: Cycas - Dioecious - Cycas is a genus of gymnosperms that is dioecious, meaning it has separate male and female plants. - Therefore, this statement is correct.Option 2: Salvinia - Heterosporous - Salvinia is a genus of aquatic ferns that are heterosporous, producing two types of spores: microspores and megaspores. - Therefore, this statement is correct.Option 3: Equisetum - Homosporous - Equisetum, commonly known as horsetail, is a genus of vascular plants that are homosporous, producing only one type of spore. - Therefore, this statement is correct.Option 4: Pinus - Dioecious - Pinus is a genus of gymnosperms that is monoecious, meaning both male and female cones are present on the same plant. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.The mismatch is in Option 4, where Pinus is incorrectly described as dioecious.Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
