Solution
The correct option is C stigma
Stigma is the terminal receptive part of the flower which functions as the landing pad for the pollen grains and it determines the compatibility of the pollen grains through special stigma surface proteins. If it is of the right type, the pistil accepts the pollen and promotes post-pollination events that lead to fertilisation. If the pollen is of wrong type, the pistil rejects the pollen. The ability of the stigma to recognize the pollen is followed by its acceptance or rejection.
