Solution

The correct option is B Pistil
When a flower lacks one of its sexual organs it is considered to be a unisexual flower and many plants use it for preventing auto and geitonogamy.
The flower mentioned here is a male flower and is not able to produce fruit because it lacks pistil and fertilization does not take place.
So the correct option is 'pistil'
