Solution

The correct option is C Embryo sac
In most angiosperms, out of the four megaspores formed during megasporogenesis, only one is functional while the other three degenerate.

The functional megaspore develops into the embryo sac (female gametophyte).

This method of formation of embryo sac from a megaspore is known as monosporic development.
