Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Microspore or pollen grain is an immature male gametophyte and thus, represents the first cell of gametophytic generation in angiosperms. Microspores are generally rounded, small, uninucleate haploid cells produced as a result of meiosis in microspore mother cell inside the microsporangia. The process of formation of microspore inside the pollen sacs of anthers is known as microsporogenesis.
