Answer 1

The correct option is D flowers

The vegetative parts of the plant include root, stem and leaves. They do not play a direct role in sexual reproduction. Roots provide anchorage and absorb water and minerals. Stem bears branches, leaves, buds and flowers. Stem helps in conduction of water and minerals to various plant parts. Leaf performs photosynthesis.

Flowers are reproductive parts of the plants that aid in sexual reproduction. Flowers have male and female reproductive parts that produce gametes. Gametes fuse to form zygote which develops into an embryo. Embryo forms into a new plant.
