Solution

The correct option is B cones
Cycas is a gymnosperm. Gymnosperms are non-flowering seed plants. Gametophyte generation is highly reduced in gymnosperms and is enclosed inside the cones or strobili. The megaspores and microspores formed inside the cones form the female and male gametophytes, respectively.

Cotyledons are the seed leaves. Seeds are the compact structure consisting of embryo, storage material and a protective covering. Seeds form the sporophyte.
