Solution

The correct option is C Tapetum
The tapetum is a layer of nutritive cells found within the sporangium, particularly within the anther, of flowering plants. It has the ability to provide nourishment for the developing embryo as well as release enzymes and hormones. Tapetum is important for the development of pollen grains. The cells are usually bigger and normally have more than one nucleus per cell.
