According to the text, which of the following is NOT correctly identified as a component of a typical flower?

  • A: Sepals
  • B: Petals
  • C: Stamens
  • D: Fruits

Explanation

The text states: 'Flowers generally consist of four types of modified leaves: sepals, petals, stamens which produce pollen , and carpels which produce ovules . Ovaries ripen into fruits...' This clearly identifies sepals, petals, and stamens as flower components, while fruits are a product of the ripened ovary, not a part of the initial flower structure.
