Male Parts of a Flower

Steps:

• Identify the male reproductive structure as the stamen.
• Note that the stamen consists of two parts: the anther, which produces pollen, and the filament, which supports the anther.
• Contrast with female parts: the carpel, including stigma, style, and ovary.
• Match options to these definitions to select the pair of male parts.

Why A is correct:

• Anther and filament form the stamen, the male organ responsible for pollen production and support, per standard botany definitions.

Why the others are wrong:

• B: Carpel is the female part; filament is male.
• C: Carpel is female; anther is male.
• D: Stamen is male; style is part of the female carpel.

Final answer: A
