Solution

The correct option is A Receptacle

Pedicel is the stalk that attaches flower to the stem.

One end of the pedicel is attached to the stem whereas the other end is expanded and swollen. This end is termed as receptacle.

It acts as the supportive structure for all the parts of the flower like sepals, petals, androecium and gynoecium.
