The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the structure of a mature embryo sac, we need to evaluate each of the given statements one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement (i)**: "Egg apparatus is situated towards chalzal end." - The egg apparatus, which consists of the egg cell and synergids, is located at the micropylar end of the embryo sac, not the chalzal end. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Evaluate Statement (ii)**: "Antipodal cells are situated towards micropylar end." - Antipodal cells are actually located at the chalzal end of the embryo sac, not the micropylar end. Hence, this statement is also **incorrect**. 3. **Evaluate Statement (iii)**: "A typical angiospermic embryo sac is 7-celled, 8-nucleate at maturity." - A mature angiospermic embryo sac indeed consists of 7 cells and contains 8 nuclei (due to the fusion of two nuclei in the central cell). This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: - The correct statement regarding the structure of a mature embryo sac is **(iii)** only. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is **(iii)** only. ---
