Solution
The correct option is B Pistil
In gymnosperms, leaves that bear microsporangia are referred to as microsporophylls.
In angiosperms, the stamens (male reproductive part) in flowers bear microsporangia and are thus equivalent to microsporophylls.
The megasporangia in gymnosperms are borne by megasporophylls while in angiosperms, the pistil (female reproductive part) bears the megasporangia (ovules). Therefore megasporophylls are equivalent to pistils.
