What are the three parts of the pistil?

Stigma, filament, ovule
Ovary, style, stamen
Stigma, style, ovary
Anther, stigma, style

The correct answer is: Stigma, style, ovary

The three parts of the pistil, which is the female reproductive structure of a flower, are the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is the sticky surface at the top of the pistil that receives pollen during fertilization. The style is the slender stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary. Finally, the ovary is the enlarged base of the pistil that contains the ovules, which develop into seeds after fertilization. Understanding these components is essential for grasping the process of plant reproduction, as they play critical roles in the fertilization and development of seeds.
