Male structure of the flower that contains the anther
A
stamen
B
pistil
C
anther
D
petal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The male parts of the flower are called the stamens and are made up of the anther at the top and the stalk or filament that supports the anther. The female elements are collectively called the pistil. The top of the pistil is called the stigma, which is a sticky surface receptive to pollen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The stamen is the male reproductive organ. It consists of a pollen sac (anther) and a long supporting filament. This filament holds the anther in position, making the pollen available for dispersal by wind, insects, or birds. Petals generally are the highly colored portions of a flower.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stamens are the male reproductive organs of flowering plants. They consist of an anther, the site of pollen development, and in most species a stalk-like filament, which transmits water and nutrients to the anther and positions it to aid pollen dispersal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parts of Stamen A stamen is composed of a filament and an anther. The filament is a long stalk-like structure which supports the anther. The anther is a two-lobed structure which contains microsporangia for the production of pollen grains.

Detailed explanation-5: -In flowering plants, male and female gametes are produced in the anther and ovule, respectively. Male gametes are contained within pollen grains, which are released from the anthers at anthesis.
