Solution

The correct option is A Potential true polyembryony
In most gymnosperms, a common feature in embryogeny is polyembryony. It is the formation of several embryos in a single gametophyte in young seed. Usually from fertilization of more than one archegonia or from cleavage polyembryony where cells of developing embryo become separated and each give rise to a new (usually 4) embryo. The mature seed normally has only one embryo.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
