Which of the following plants produces seeds but not flowers : -
A Maize
B Mint

D Pinus

Detailed Solution

Gymnosperms produce seeds, but their ovules are not enclosed in an ovary, and they do not produce true flowers or fruits. Their reproductive structures are cones (strobili).
Pinus is a gymnosperm (conifer).
Maize, mint and peepal are angiosperms, which produce flowers, fruits and seeds.
So Pinus produces seeds but not flowers.
