Which part of carpel, in an angiospermic flower, bears ovules?

The correct answer is Option (3) → Ovary

Explanation:

• In an angiospermic flower, the carpel (or pistil) is the female reproductive organ consisting of three parts:
1. Stigma – Receives pollen during pollination.
2. Style – Connects the stigma to the ovary.
3. Ovary – Contains ovules, which develop into seeds after fertilization.
• The ovary houses one or more ovules, which contain the embryo sac. After fertilization, the ovary matures into a fruit, and the ovules develop into seeds.

Other options :

Stigma – Incorrect, because it is the pollen-receiving structure, not the site where ovules are present.

Style – Incorrect, as it is only a connecting tube between the stigma and ovary, with no ovules.

Thalamus – Incorrect, as it is the flower’s base that supports floral organs but does not bear ovules.
