Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In angiosperms, the female gametophyte (or embryo sac) is an oval multicellular haploid structures which is embedded in the nucellus towards micropylar half of the ovule. A typical and most common type of embryo sac, found in `80%` flowering plants is called Polygonum type of embryo sac. it contains 8 nuclei but 7 cells -3 micropylar, 3- chalazal and one central. it is formed by one meiosis and three mitosis. The three micropylar cells are collectively known as egg apparatus. The three chalazal cells of the embryo sac are called antipodal cells.
