Solution
The correct option is A Megaspore mother cell Within the ovule, one diploid megaspore mother cell divides by meiosis to produce four haploid megaspores. Only one of the megaspores survives, and the other three degenerate. The surviving megaspore undergoes mitotic division to produce an embryo sac with eight nuclei. Thus the correct answer is option A.
