Answers (1)

The answer is the option (c), (ii), and (iv)

A flowering plant consists of four whorls - calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium.

  • Calyx: The outermost layer of a flower, composed of sepals.
  • Corolla: The second layer of a flower, made up of petals.
  • Androsium: The third layer, consisting of stamens, which are the male reproductive structures.
  • Gynoecium: The innermost layer, composed of carpels, which are the female reproductive structures.

Carpel and sepal are individual parts and make gynoecium and calyx respectively.
