SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 50

SSC CGL - 13 Sep 2024 - Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q50

Which of the following is NOT a component of a flower?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Spines.

In a flower, the main components are:

  • Androecium: The male reproductive part of a flower, consisting of stamens.
  • Corolla: The petals of a flower collectively, which are often colorful and attract pollinators.
  • Calyx: The outermost whorl of a flower, made up of sepals that protect the flower bud.

Spines are not part of a flower's structure; they are typically modified plant structures for defense.
