Solution

The correct option is B X - Calyx; Y - Sepals
Calyx is the outermost whorl of a flower. It contains sepals which are green in colour and look like leaf and protect the inner whorls of the flower.

Corolla is present inside the calyx and made up of petals. Petals are different in color and shapes and protects the whorls present inside it. It attracts insects for pollination due to its color.

Androecium is the male reproductive whorl made of stamen. Each stamen contains filament, anther and a connective.

Gynoecium is the female reproductive whorl made of pistil. Each pistil contains stigma, style and ovary.
