Solution

The correct option is B 4 gametes
The pollen mother cell is a diploid cell that gives rise to the haploid reproductive cells or the gametes. The pollen grain contains the gametes. The pollen mother cell or the Microspore mother cell undergoes meiosis to form four male gamete containing structures or the microspores/pollen grains
