The correct answer is Pistil.

Concept: 

  • The flower contains a male part and a female part. 
  • The male part is known as stamen and the female part is known as the pistil. 
  • The male part or stamen consists of anther and filament. 
    • The anther produces pollen grains which have male gametes.
    •  stamen supports the anther
  • The female part or pistil consists of Ovary, stigma, style. 
    • The ovary contains one or more ovules.
    • The female gamete or the egg is formed in an ovule
  • Male and a female gamete fuse to form a zygote. 
  • This happens through the process of pollination.
  • In pollination, the pollen grains from the anther go to stigma and fertilization happens in the ovary.
