Solution

The correct option is A Multinucleate
In between the sporogenous tissue and the anther wall, a specialized layer of nutritive cells found within the anther called as Tapetum. As the sporogenous cell undergoes mitosis, the nuclei of the tapetal cells also divide. Sometimes this mitotic division is not normal due to mature cells of may tapetum become multinucleate.
So the correct option is 'Multinucleate'.
