Solution
The correct option is C style
The female reproductive part of the flower is called the pistil. It has three parts: stigma, style and ovary.
Stigma is the flat, sticky part of the pistil which is attached to the long hollow tube-like structure called style. Style leads to the swollen base called ovary which bears the bead-like structures known as ovules.
The male reproductive part is the stamen which has two parts: anther and filament.
