Solution

The correct option is C Dividing pollen mother cells in anther
The pollen mother cells in the anther are the reproductive cells. These cells can undergo meiotic division known as microsporogenesis and produce pollen grains which are the male gametophytes. The male gametes are produced in the male gametophyte by mitotic division. The pollen mother cells can be isolated in order to study meiotic division and formation of pollen grains.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
