The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the classification of flower organs, we need to analyze the parts of a flower and their functions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Flower Parts:** - The flower consists of several parts, including the calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium. - The calyx is made up of sepals, and the corolla is made up of petals. 2. **Classify Calyx and Corolla:** - The calyx and corolla are located on the outer part of the flower. - They serve primarily protective and aesthetic functions, helping to attract pollinators. - Therefore, calyx and corolla are classified as **accessory organs**. 3. **Classify Androecium and Gynoecium:** - The androecium consists of stamens, which produce pollen, and the gynoecium consists of carpels, which contain the ovary and stigma. - These parts are involved in the reproductive process of the flower. - Hence, androecium and gynoecium are classified as **reproductive organs**. 4. **Fill in the Blanks:** - Based on the classifications: - (a) **accessory** - (b) **reproductive** ### Final Answer: Calyx and corolla are (a) **accessory** organs while androecium and gynoecium are (b) **reproductive** organs. ---
