Solution

The correct option is D Pollen grain
In sexually reproducing angiosperms, polen grains are the male gametophyte and the embryo sac is the female gametophyte.
Microsporangia are male structures that produce microspores, which eventually give rise to the male gametophyte.
Megaspores are female structures that give rise to the female gametophyte.
