Solution
The correct options are A Stamen C Pistil The male reproductive part of the flower is called the stamen. It has two parts- anther and filament. The anther contains the male sex cells. The female reproductive part of the flower is called the pistil. It has three parts- a stigma, a style and an ovary. The ovary contains female sex cells or ovules. Sepals and petals are not involved in reproduction. The sepals are green in colour and help in the protection of flower during the budding stage, while the petals are generally brightly coloured and attract insects.
