This stalk supports the stigma.
A
filament
B
style
C
ovary
D
anther
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The long stalk in stamen is called the filament. Filaments provide support to anthers and they carry nutrients to anthers where pollen develops. In female plants, the stalk-like structure is referred to as the style. It supports stigma and connects to the ovary.

Detailed explanation-2: -The style is the tube-like structure that supports the stigma. The style leads down to the ovary which contains the ovules. During the process of pollination, pollen moves from the male parts to the female parts. Pollen grains land on the stigma and a tiny tube grows from it and down the style into the ovary.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pistil usually is located in the center of the flower and is made up of three parts: the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is the sticky knob at the top of the pistil. It is attached to the long, tubelike structure called the style. The style leads to the ovary that contains the female egg cells called ovules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Filament is the long stalk of stamen on top of which the anthers are held.

Detailed explanation-5: -Peduncle: The stalk of a flower. Receptacle: The part of a flower stalk where the parts of the flower are attached. Sepal: The outer parts of the flower (often green and leaf-like) that enclose a developing bud. Petal: The parts of a flower that are often conspicuously colored.
