Solution

The correct option is B carpel
Megasporophyll bears megasporangia. In seed plants, the female gametophyte is produced inside the megasporangium. Fertilization and embryo formation occur there. In angiosperm, the megasporophyll is rolled to produce a carpel.
So, the correct answer is " carpel ".
