Which flower parts are part of the stamen?

• A. Stigma, style
• B. Anther, filament
• C. Leaf, stem
• D. Petals, sepals

Answer: (B)

The stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower and it is made up of two parts: the filament, a slender stalk, and the anther, the knob at the tip where pollen is produced. The combination of filament and anther forms the stamen, which is specifically involved in producing and delivering pollen. The stigma and style are part of the pistil, the female reproductive structure, and neither are stamens. Leaves and stems are vegetative parts, not flower reproductive organs. Petals and sepals belong to the perianth, which protects the developing bud and helps attract pollinators, but they are not stamens.
