You've discovered a new species of flowering plant that has incredibly tiny flowers. They're so hard to see that you need a magnifying
loupe to see the carpel. Choose the answer that most likely represents the structures you would find in this flower.

A. A stem with two scales each holding on separate sides the male and female flower parts. The pollination of the female part is accomplished primarily by wind, and the pollen tube grows laterally across the stem towards the female part.
B. A homosporous structure that has equally sized male and female sporophyte structures, the ovary and the anther, that are both derived from the same leaf.
C. A series of whorls that begin with the outermost region likely forming sepals, followed by a second whorl called petals, followed by a third whorl of male structures called stamens, with the innermost region being the 4th whorl called the pistil (carpel).
D. Because all flowers are complete and "perfect" flowers, you would definitely expect to find all reproductive parts in this specimen and so you would look exclusively for stamen and ovaries.
