Solution

The correct option is D Megasporophyll- female gametophyte
Option D is mismatched as the 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. This makes the sporangium a megasporangium and the sporophyll a megasporophyll.
