Solution

The correct option is D One
The megaspore mother cell (2n) undergoes reduction division (meiosis) to form linear tetrad of four haploid megaspores by megasporogenesis. Generally, 3 megaspores towards micropylar end degenerate and 4^th towards chalazal end remains is the functional megaspore which develops into a female gametophyte or embryo sac.
