Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The process of formation of megaspores from the megaspore mother cell is called megasporogenesis. Ovules generally differentiate a single megaspore mother cell (MMC) in the micropylar region of the nucellus. The MMC undergoes meiotic division. Meiosis results in the production of four megaspores.
