Solution

The correct option is B Generally has binucleated cells
The innermost layer of anther wall is tapetum. The cells of this layer generally have more than one nucleus (binucleated).

The outer three wall layers (epidermis, endothecium and middle layer) are protective in nature and they help in dehiscence.
