The correct Answer is:
To determine the classification of a flower that has carpels, stamens, and petals, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Parts of the Flower**: - A flower typically consists of four main whorls: - **Calyx** (sepals) - **Corolla** (petals) - **Androsium** (stamens) - **Gynosium** (carpels) 2. **Determine the Presence of Whorls**: - The question specifies that the flower has **carpels (gynosium)**, **stamens (androsium)**, and **petals (corolla)**. - However, it does not mention the presence of **sepals (calyx)**. 3. **Define Complete and Perfect Flowers**: - A **complete flower** has all four whorls: calyx, corolla, androsium, and gynosium. - A **perfect flower** has both male (stamens) and female (carpels) reproductive structures but may lack one of the accessory whorls (calyx or corolla). 4. **Analyze the Given Flower**: - Since the flower in question has carpels, stamens, and petals but lacks sepals, it cannot be classified as a complete flower. - It does have both male and female reproductive structures, so it can be classified as a perfect flower. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the flower with carpels, stamens, and petals is classified as a **perfect flower**. ### Final Answer: The flower with carpels, stamens, and petals is said to be a **perfect flower**.
