Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To cross-fertilize flowers A and B, one needs to remove flower A's stamens which contain the pollen and then transfer the pollen from flower B to flower A's stigma, which is the receptive surface for pollen deposition. Therefore, option C is correct - stamens need to be removed from flower A and pollen transferred to the stigma of flower A. Option A is incorrect because carpe is not a plant part. Option B is incorrect because anthers are part of stamens, not separate from them. Option D is incorrect because the style is the tube-like structure that connects the stigma to the ovary, and it does not need to be removed for cross-fertilization.
