Each of the part of flower is arranged in a whorl on the receptacle. The four main whorls starting from outer side to inner side are as follows:
  • Sepals: are the green outermost leaf like floral organs which protect the flower in bud stage and provide support to outer floral organs.
  • Petals: are colored accessory floral organs which lie above sepals and they may also provide protection to centrally placed reproductive organs (stamens and carpel).
  • Stamens: are located inside the corolla and are leaf-like appearance and are male reproductive part.
  • Carpels are female reproductive part and are one or more in number and are located in the upper center of the flower
So, the correct answer is 'Sepals Petals Stamen Carpel'
