Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

In angiosperm, flower is the reproductive organ.

It contains stamens (equivalent to microsporophylls) and carpels (equivalent to megasporophylls) as male and female organs repectively.

A stamen has a broad terminal anther that contains tiny structures named pollen grains or microspores.

Carpels contain ovary which produces ovules.
