Answer

A

Explanation

Gynoecium indicates the female reproductive part of the flower which consists of-pistil. Each pistil has three parts, that is, stigma, style and ovary. Inside the ovarian cavity, the placenta is located. Arising from the placenta there are the megasporangia, commonly called ovules: The functional megaspore undergoing the meiotic division develops into the female gametophyte or embryo sac. Thalamus, tapetum and stamen are not a part of gynoecium. Thalamus is the part of flower which form the base on which all the floral whorls rest up on Tapetum is the inner most nutritive o layer or microsporangium and stamens are male reproductive part (androecium) of plant.
