Perennials: These plants continue to grow for a number of seasons or for many years. They achieve extensive vegetative growth and then mature reproductively. These can be:

  • Polycarpic if they produce flowers every year, for example, apple, mango, lemon, etc.
  • Monocarpic if they produce flowers only once in their life cycle, for example, Agave americana (century plant), bamboo.
     

Since, a mango tree produces flowers in every season, therefore it is polycarpic. Hence, the correct option is (b).
