The statement that does NOT describe a difference between asexual and sexual reproduction of the lily is:

B Asexual reproduction requires only that the male part is present.

This statement is misleading because asexual reproduction does not involve any flower parts, male or female, since it only requires one plant. Asexual reproduction can occur through methods like bulb formation or vegetative propagation, which do not need any reproductive structures.
