The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Embryo Sac**: The embryo sac is a crucial structure in flowering plants (angiosperms) that develops within the ovule and contains the female gametes. It is essential for reproduction as it plays a significant role in fertilization. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options: - Megagametophyte - Megasporophyll - Microgametes - Megaspore 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Megagametophyte**: This is the female gametophyte that develops from the megaspore. It is synonymous with the embryo sac. - **Megasporophyll**: This is a structure that bears the megasporangium, typically found in gymnosperms, and is not directly the embryo sac. - **Microgametes**: These are male gametes, which are not related to the embryo sac. - **Megaspore**: This is the spore that undergoes mitosis to form the megagametophyte (embryo sac), but it is not the embryo sac itself. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct representation of the embryo sac is the **Megagametophyte**, as it is the structure that develops from the megaspore and contains the female gametes. 5. **Final Answer**: The embryo sac is represented by **Megagametophyte**. ---
