Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Floral parts are specialized leaves-sepals, petals, stamens and carpels. Sepals are protective and green, petals are coloured and attractive, stamens are pollen bearing structures or microsporophylls while carpels are ovule-bearing megasporophylls. In Poinsettia, the young leaves are brightly coloured to attract insects for pollination.You need to login to perform this action.
