Solution

The correct option is B Nucellus
The nucellus cells are present in the megasporangium of the ovule. After fertilization, the ovule gets transformed to seed in which the embryo is the edible part and the seed coat are formed from the integuments. The nucellus forms the membranous structure in the seeds of Pinus. This membranous layer is known as the remnant of the nucellus cells in the sporangium.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
