Solution

The correct option is C Stamens

  • The first and second whorl of a flower consists of sepals and petals, respectively.
  • The androecium is the third whorl of a flower. Each unit is called stamen. It is the male reproductive organ of the flower. A stamen is made up of a stalk called the filament and an anther.
  • The fourth whorl, however, is comprised of the female reproductive structure called gynoecium. Each unit is called carpel/pistil.

So the correct answer is C 'Stamens'
