Options
- AAnther and pistil
- BFilament and petal
- CFilament and anther
- DPistil and thalamus
Correct answer
C. Filament and anther
Step-by-step solution

If you were to collect a stamen each from ten flowers (each from different species) and arrange them on a slide, you would be able to appreciate the large variation in size seen in nature.
