Solution

The correct option is C Anthers before their dehiscence
Bisexual flower consists of both male and female reproductive parts. Removal of anthers/stamens from the flower bud before the anther dehisces is referred to as emasculation. They are removed with the help of forceps before their dehiscence. It is done before dehiscence to prevent contamination of stigma with any undesired pollen grains and to ensure that cross-pollination takes place with the help of the desired pollen grains.
