Solution

The correct option is A Sporangium
Azolla is significant with the basipetal origin of mega and microsporangia on the same receptacle in a single sporocarp. Male spores (microspores) are extremely small and are produced inside each microsporangium. Curiously, microspores tend to adhere in clumps called as massulae. The microspore bearing massulae were attached to the megaspore by means of specialized hooked structures known as glochidia.
So, the correct answer is option B.
