• D. filament

Answer 1

The correct option is D

filament

The correct option is D.

Explanation for correct option-

1. The carpel is the female reproductive part of the flower and lacks the filament.
2. Stamen is the male reproductive part of the flower comprising a slender tube called the filament and the pollen-bearing units called the anther.

Explanation for incorrect options-

Option A:

Stigma is incorrect because it is the topmost sticky part of the carpel where the pollen grains land.

Option B:

Style is incorrect because it is the thin elongated stalk-like structure of the carpel. It connects the stigma and the ovary.

Option C:

The ovary is incorrect because it is the lowermost bulged part of the carpel that holds the ovules.

Therefore the part that does not belong to the carpel is the filament.
