Solution

The correct option is C Flower
Sexual reproduction in flowering plants involve the production of male and female gametes and the transfer of the male gametes to the female ovules in a process called pollination. After pollination, fertilization occurs and the ovules grow into seeds within a fruit and all this happens in the flower as it contains male and female reproductive organs. Therefore flower is the site of sexual reproduction in angiosperms. Inflorescence is a bunch of flowers each of it being a site of sexual reproduction.
