Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Gametophytic tissue
The "endosperm" is a tissue in which the nutrient substances necessary for the development of the embryo are deposited. In gymnosperms the endosperm is formed in the ovule during germination of the megaspore and is a gametophytic tissue, which consequently becomes the female prothallus or the gametophyte with a haploid set of chromosomes. The archegonia in gymnosperms develop from certain cells of the endosperm.
Hence the correct option is A.
