Solution

The correct option is D microsporophylls, megasporophylls
In gymnosperms, male cone bears spirally arranged microsporophylls and female cone has leaf-like structures called megasporophylls.

Microsporophylls have microsporangium inside which pollen grains (male gametophytes) develop.

Megasporophylls have megasporangium (ovule) inside which the female gametophytes develop.
