The filament ____
A
holds up the anther
B
protects the petal
C
is the male part of the flower
D
catches pollen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The filament is the part of the androecium that holds up the anther. The anther and the filament together form the stamen, the male reproductive part of the flower. A style is a part of the female reproductive system which connects the stigma to the ovule. Thalamus is the part of a flower attached to the pedicel.

Detailed explanation-2: -The male parts are called stamens and usually surround the pistil. The stamen is made up of two parts: the anther and filament. The anther produces pollen (male reproductive cells). The filament holds the anther up.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stamen: The pollen producing part of a flower, usually with a slender filament supporting the anther.

Detailed explanation-4: -stamen, the male reproductive part of a flower. In all but a few extant angiosperms, the stamen consists of a long slender stalk, the filament, with a two-lobed anther at the tip. The anther consists of four saclike structures (microsporangia) that produce pollen for pollination.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. Small nectaries are found at the base of stamens which provide food for insect and bird pollinators.
