Solution

The correct option is D Anther wall

The tapetum is a layer of nutritive cells found within the sporangium, particularly within the anther of flowering plants. Tapetum is important for the development of pollen grains. It helps in pollen wall formation, transportation of nutrients to inner side of anther, synthesis of callase enzyme for separation of microspore tetrads.
