Answer 1

The correct option is A A = Megasporophyll B = different

Cycas are dioecious plants. It means the male and female sex organs are present in different plants. The male sex organs are called male cones and they bear microsporangia in which pollen grains are present. The female sex organs are not present in the form of cones. These are loosely arranged called megasporophylls. They bear the ovules. Male cone and megasporophyll are borne on different plants.

Hence, the correct answer is 'A= megasporophyll B= different'
