C. Produce seeds
The others are incorrect because plants need leaves to carry out photosynthesis and their stem is to transport the water. Also it does not seem relevant for the plant to be taller.

Because of the lack of flowers, the plant would NOT be able to produce seeds (Option C).

  • The flowers are the reproductive organs of angiosperms responsible for producing seeds, ie. flowering plants.

  • Flowers contain male organs called stamens and female organs called pistils, and plus accessory organs (i.e., sepals and petals)

  • In flowering plants, fertilization occurs by the process of pollination by which a sperm cell in a pollen grain fuses with the egg cell of a plant ovule to form the plant embryo in the seed.

In conclusion, because of the lack of flowers, the plant would NOT be able to produce seeds (Option C).
