Solution

The correct option is B

Two sperms and a vegetative cell


Pollen grain or male gametophyte in angiosperm contain one generative cell. The generative cell further divides mitotically to form two male gametes (sperms). So a mature male in a gametophyte in angiosperms contains two sperms and one vegetative cell.
