Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
In angiosperms, the microsporangium represents the future pollen sac. A typical microsporangium consists of two parts, outer wall and central homogeneous sporogenous tissue. Microsporangial wall has four types of layer-epidermis, endothecium, 13 middle layers and tapetum. The outer three wall layers perform the function of protection in the young anther and mechanism of dehiscence in the ripe anther.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
