I'm confused regarding answer..please answer this with explanation

Answer 1

Dear student The answer is option C. "Embryosac."

i have given a detailed explanation for you. If you want you can go through it.
The female gametophyte — specifically termed a megagametophyte— is also called the embryo sacin angiosperms. The megagametophyte produces an egg cell (or several in some groups) for the purpose of fertilization.

Embryosac is the megaspore of a seed-bearing plant, situated within the ovule, giving rise to the endosperm and forming the egg cell or nucleus from which the embryo plant develops after fertilization.

In flowering plants, the megagametophyte (also referred to as the embryo sac) is much smaller and typically consists of only seven cells and eight nuclei. This type of megagametophyte develops from the megaspore through three rounds of mitoticdivisions. The cell closest to the micropyle opening of the integuments differentiates into the egg cell, with two synergid cells by its side that are involved in the production of signals that guide the pollen tube. Three antipodal cells form on the opposite (chalazal) end of the ovule and later degenerate. The large central cell of the embryo sac contains two polar nuclei.
