Correct answer
C. Bamboo species
Step-by-step solution
Bamboo plants are perennial, monocarpic plants. They flower only once in their lifetime, usually after 50-100 years. They produce a large number of fruits and die. Mango, Jackfruit, and Papaya are polycarpic plants. i.e. they flower repeatedly at regular intervals every year.
