The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Embryo sac is," we need to analyze the options provided and understand the definitions of the terms involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Embryo Sac**: - The embryo sac is a crucial structure in the reproductive process of flowering plants (angiosperms). It is the female gametophyte that develops within the ovule. 2. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - The options given are: - A) Micro gametophyte - B) Microsporangium - C) Megagametophyte - D) Megasporangium 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **A) Micro gametophyte**: This refers to the male gametophyte, which produces male gametes (pollen grains). This is not related to the embryo sac, so this option is incorrect. - **B) Microsporangium**: This is a structure that produces microspores, which develop into male gametophytes. This is also not related to the embryo sac, so this option is incorrect. - **C) Megagametophyte**: The embryo sac is indeed the megagametophyte. It is formed from the megaspores and contains eight nuclei and seven cells. This option is correct. - **D) Megasporangium**: This structure gives rise to megaspores, which develop into the megagametophyte (embryo sac). However, it is not the same as the embryo sac itself, so this option is incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **C) Megagametophyte**. ### Final Answer: The embryo sac is a **megagametophyte**. ---
