Solution

The correct option is C Angiosperms
Archegonia are multicellular organs found in the gametophytic phase of the plants and contains ovum. With a long neck canal, venter and a swollen base these are either found on the surface of the plant or are embedded.
However, in case of Angiosperms, there is no archegonia and the megagametophyte is reduced to just a few cells, one of which differentiates into the egg cell and are contained in the ovule and enclosed in the megasporophyll or carpel.
Hence the correct option is C.
