Solution

The correct option is C There are two or more embryo sacs
The phenomenon of development of more than one embryos in a seed is known as polyembryony. It may be classified into true and false polyembryony. In true polyembryony, the embryos arise in the same embryo sac in which zygotic embryo has developed while in false polyembryony, extra embryos develop in another embryo sac.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
