Solution

The correct option is D Sporopollenin

The pollen is having two layers. The tough outer layer is referred to as the exine. This sophisticated and complex outer layer is having a compound known as sporopollenin. It is waterproof, resistant to the deterioration and very stiff as well. This shell is actually one of nature's most advanced polymers. It ensures that the tender cells must have a strong chance of survival.

Thus the correct answer is option D.
