Solution

The correct options are
B Calyx
C Corolla
A typical flower has four whorls - calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium. Out of these whorls, the petals and the sepals are not directly involved in reproduction as they do not form gametes. The essential whorls are the androecium and the gynoecium which produce male and female gametes respectively.
