Correct Answer

A. Anther

Explanation

Pollen is produced by the anther, which is the male reproductive organ of a flower. The anther contains pollen sacs where pollen grains are formed. These pollen grains are then released from the anther and are transferred to the stigma of another flower for pollination to occur. The anther plays a crucial role in the reproduction of flowering plants by producing and dispersing pollen.
