Solution

The correct option is A To receive the pollen grains
The pistil is the female reproductive part of the flower. It has 3 parts - stigma, style and ovary. The stigma receives the pollen grains. It functions as the landing platform for the pollen grains. Style is the narrow stalk which connects the ovary with the stigma. Ovary is the basal swollen part of the pistil. It contains one or many ovules.
