Solution

The correct option is B Seed
The nucellus is a part of the inner structure of the ovule, forming a layer of diploid (sporophytic) cells inside the integuments. It is structurally and functionally equivalent to the megasporangium. In some plants, the diploid tissue of the nucellus gives rise to a seed through a mechanism of asexual reproduction called nucellar embryony.
So, the correct answer is 'seed'
