Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Stamen, comprising the filament and anther
The STAMEN is the male reproductive organ of a flower. It consists of a filament + anther (which carries pollen). The pistil/carpel is the female organ (stigma + style + ovary). Sepals + petals are non-reproductive whorls.
