The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Stamens**: The stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower, consisting of two main parts: the anther and the filament. The anther produces pollen, while the filament supports the anther. 2. **Types of Anther Attachment**: There are different types of attachment of the filament to the anther: - **Innate (Basic Fixed)**: The filament is attached at the base of the anther. Example: Mustard. - **Adnate**: The filament is attached along the entire length of the anther. Examples: Nymphaea, Magnolia. - **Dorsifixed**: The filament is attached to the back of the anther, but the anther cannot move. Example: Passiflora. - **Versatile**: The filament is attached to the back of the anther, but the anther can swing freely. This type is characteristic of grasses. 3. **Identifying the Correct Type for Jowar/Grass**: Since Jowar (Sorghum) is a type of grass, we need to identify the type of stamen it possesses. The stamen of grasses is known to be versatile. 4. **Conclusion**: The stamens of Jowar/Grass are versatile, meaning the filament is attached at the back of the anther, allowing the anther to swing freely. 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the stamens of Jowar/Grass are versatile. ---
