Male part of the flower consists of filament and anther

Carpel Pistil Ovary Stamen

Correct Answer:

Stamen

Explanation:

The male reproductive part of a flower is the stamen. It is made up of two pieces: a filament, which is the slender stalk that positions the other part, and an anther, the sac at the tip where pollen grains form. In the anther, pollen sacs develop pollen through cell division, and when mature the anther releases pollen so it can be carried to the female part for fertilization. This is distinct from the female structure, which is the carpel (also called the pistil) that includes the stigma, style, and ovary, with ovules inside the ovary. So the statement describes the stamen, the male part.
