• C. partially developed male gametophyte

Answer 1

The correct option is C partially developed male gametophyte

Each pollen grain is a minute body, of varying shape and structure, formed in the male structures of seed-bearing plants and transported by various means (wind, water, insects, etc.) to the female structures, where fertilization occurs. In angiosperms, pollen is produced by the anthers of the stamens in flowers.

So, the correct option is, 'partially develop male gametophyte'
