The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks about the specific part of the anther from which pollen grains develop. 2. **Understand the Structure of the Anther**: The anther is a part of the stamen, which is the male reproductive organ of flowering plants (angiosperms). The anther contains several layers, including the epidermis, endothelium, tapetum, and sporogenous tissue. 3. **Define the Sporogenous Tissue**: Sporogenous tissue is a mass of cells located within the anther. This tissue is responsible for producing microspore mother cells. 4. **Microspore Development**: The microspore mother cells undergo meiosis to form microspores. Each microspore eventually develops into a pollen grain. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that pollen grains develop from the sporogenous tissue of the anther. **Final Answer**: Pollen grains develop from the sporogenous tissue of the anther. ---
