Solution

The correct option is A Leptosporangiate
Such a sporangium arises from a single superficial initial. It divides operatically into outer and inner components. While the inner cell forms the stall, the outer gives rise to sporangium proper. In Marattia alata, the sporangia in a sarus may fuse to form a synanjoi.
