Answer

C

Explanation

In a flower, the parts that produce male and female gametes are anther and ovary respectively. Stamen is the male reproductive unit of the flower. It contains a bilobed anther at the top which produces male gametes. Filament is the stalk of the stamen that supports anther.
Pistil (carpel) is the female reproductive part of the flower. It consists of ovary (forms ovules-female gametes), stigma (receives pollen) and style (elongated tube).
