2. The carpel is a female reproductive organ of a flowering plant.
3. So, both are of the same nature.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

Option A:

1. A petal is a colored part of a flower.
2. With bright colors and scents, they often bring insects and birds to pollinate the flowers.
3. Petals are made of cellulose and other organic matter.
4. Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers.
5. Together, all of the petals of a flower are called the corolla.

Option B:

1. Stamen is the male reproductive organ, so it isn't the same as, the megasporophyll of cycas.
2. Stamen produces microsporophyll, so it is different from than megasporophyll of cycas.

Option D:

1. A sepal is a part of the flower which is green and functions as the flower bud.
2. Usually green, sepals typically function as protection for the flower in bud, and often as support for the petals when in bloom.
