Solution

The correct option is D Pollen grain
The pollen grain is the male gametophyte which contains the male gametes. It is surrounded by two layers as exine which forms the outer layer and intine which forms the inner layer. The generative cell divides to form the two male gametes. The intine layer comes out of the germ pore to form the pollen tube.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
