The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Flower Structure**: A bisexual flower contains both male (stamens) and female (pistil) reproductive organs. The stamens produce pollen grains, which are essential for fertilization. 2. **Role of Stamens**: The stamens are the male reproductive parts that produce pollen. Pollen grains contain the male gametes necessary for fertilization of the ovules present in the ovary of the pistil. 3. **Female Reproductive Part**: The pistil is the female reproductive organ of the flower, which consists of the ovary, style, and stigma. The ovary contains ovules, which can develop into seeds after fertilization. 4. **Artificial Removal of Stamens**: When the long stamens are removed artificially, one might assume that the flower cannot produce fruit because the male gametes (pollen) are absent. 5. **Self-Pollination**: In some cases, flowers can still produce fruit through self-pollination or if there is any residual pollen that can fertilize the ovules. 6. **Fruit Development**: Even without the stamens, if the flower has been previously pollinated or if there are mechanisms for self-pollination, the ovules in the ovary can still develop into seeds, leading to the formation of fruit. 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, despite the removal of the stamens, the flower can still produce fruit due to the presence of the female reproductive structures and the possibility of prior fertilization or self-pollination. ---
