B Correct answer
Explanation

Sepals (calyx) and petals (corolla) are the accessory or non-essential parts of a flower because they don't directly participate in reproduction. The essential reproductive structures are stamens (male) and carpels (female), which produce gametes and facilitate fertilization. These accessory parts primarily support protection and attraction of pollinators.
