Solution

The correct option is B Embryo sac
In angiosperms, the gametophytic generation is highly reduced. Female gametophyte exists in the form of an embryosac which is a 7 celled, nucleated structure. It is haploid since it develops from a haploid megaspore which forms as a result of meiosis of the megaspore mother cell.
So, the correct answer is, 'Embryo sac'.
