The correct Answer is:
C
The typical embryo sac(Polygonum type) is 7-celled, 8-nucleate (two synergids, one egg, three antipodal and one central cell). The synergids are also known as helpers. They help in distribution of nutrients in embryo sac with the help of filiform apparatus and also help in attracting pollen tube towards egg.
