• A. 1-b, 2-d, 3-c, 4-b
• B. 1-c, 2-d, 3-b, 4-a
• C. 1-d, 2-c, 3-b, 4-a
• D. 1-b, 2-c, 3-a, 4-b

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1-c, 2-d, 3-b, 4-a

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{A}& \text{B}\\ \text{(1) Androecium}& \text{(c) Whorl of stamens}\\ \text{(2)Gynoecium}& \text{(d) Whorl of pistil/carpel}\\ \text{(3) Corolla}& \text{(b) Whorl of petals}\\ \text{(4) Calyx}& \text{(a) Whorl of sepals}\end{array}$
Androecium is the male reproductive part whose individual units are called stamens. Gynoecium is the female part which is the whorl of pistil. Corolla is made up of individual units called petals which are generally brightly coloured. Calyx is the outermost part of the flower which is made of individual units called sepals which are green and leaf like.
