Male pollen-producing organs and female ovule-containing organs are described by which terms in order?

• A. Stamen and Pistil
• B. Pistil and Stamen
• C. Ovule and Carpel
• D. Petal and Sepal

Answer: (A)

The main idea is to know the two reproductive parts of a flowering plant and which is male versus female. The stamen is the male reproductive organ and it produces pollen. The pistil (also called the carpel) is the female reproductive organ and it contains the ovules inside the ovary. Since the question asks for the terms in order from male to female, the correct pairing is stamen first, then pistil. The other options either switch the order, point to non-reproductive parts like petals and sepals, or mix up terms in a way that doesn’t match the straightforward male/female distinction.
