Solution
The correct option is A Young anthers
In angiosperms (flowering plants), meiosis occurs within the ovules of ovaries and within the anthers of stamens. It results in the formation of gametes with half the normal chromosome number.
Since the cells of the young anthers are actively dividing and plenty in number, they are considered the beast to study various stages of educational division (meiosis).
