Solution

The correct option is A Anatropous
In anatropous ovule, the ovule becomes completely inverted during development hence the micropyle is very close to the hilium. The point of attachment of the funiculus to the body of the ovule is known as hilum. Hence the funiculus lies close to micropyle.
In campylotropous ovule, the ovule is curved hence the micropyle and chalaza do not lie in a straight line.
In orthotropous or atropous ovule, the ovule is straight and hilum, chalaza and micropyle lie in a straight line.
Cytokinin is a plant hormone that is involved in cell division.
Thus the correct answer is option A.
