As we learnt:
  • Stamen is the male reproductive organ or the microsporophyll of a flower.
  • There are two parts of a typical stamen – the long and slender stalk called the filament, and the terminal generally bilobed structure called the anther.
  • The proximal end of the filament is attached to the thalamus or the petal of the flower.
  • The number and length of stamens are variable in flowers of different species.
  • A typical angiosperm anther is bilobed or dithecous.
  • The anther is the fertile part of the stamen.
  • The two lobes of the anther are separated in the anterior region by a deep groove.
  • On the backside, the two lobes are connected by a sterile parenchymatous tissue called connective.

A typical anther is tetrasporangiate because it has four microsporangia. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
