While it is true that perennials do not die after the seasonal production of fruits, that is not the main difference between biennials and perennials.

The main difference lies in their life cycles. Biennials complete their life cycle in two years, as I mentioned earlier. They typically grow vegetatively during the first year and then flower, produce fruits, and eventually die in the second year. Examples of biennials include carrots, onions, and parsley.

Perennials, on the other hand, have life cycles that extend for more than two years. They can live and reproduce for many years, undergoing cycles of growth, flowering, and fruit production. Perennials do not have a fixed lifespan and can continue to grow and produce fruits for multiple seasons. Trees, shrubs, and many flowering plants are examples of perennials.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
