A
the stamen
B
the carpel
C
the flowers
D
the leaves
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Pollen grains are produced in anther .

Detailed explanation-2: -Through the process of meiosis, pollen is formed in the pollen sacs (microsporangia) inside the anthers of a flower. The anther, while it is developing from anther primordium (undifferentiated cells), forms two clusters of cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In angiosperms, pollen is produced by the anthers of the stamens in flowers. In gymnosperms, it is formed in the microsporophylls of the microstrobili (male pollen cones). Pollen consists of one or more vegetative cells and a reproductive cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stamens are the male reproductive structure of the plant. They produce pollen grain by the process of microsporogenesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Complete Answer: Option A: Ovary is an organ found enclosed within the female reproductive system which is responsible for the production of the female reproductive organ i.e. ovum. Therefore, this is the incorrect option. Option B: Anther is defined as that part of the stamen which produces pollen grains.
