Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Stamens are specialized microsporophylls.
Each stamen has a narrow stalk or filament and a knob-like broader tip called anther.
Anther develops four microsporangia, which produce pollen grains.
Carpels are specialized megasporophylls.
Each carpel has a swollen base named ovary.
The interior of ovary contains one or more placentae for bearing ovules.
