Solution

The correct option is B Nucellus
Sporangia in Selaginella contain four very large yellow spores. These four are the result of meiosis from a single sporocyte. The spores are called megaspores because of their large size. The megasporangium of Selaginella is equivalent to nucellus of Pinus.
