Solution

The correct option is B Female gametophyte
The megaspore goes through mitotic divisions and forms a multicellular small female gametophyte. It contains two or three archegonia and one egg cell. The megaspore is never released from the megasporangium and the female gametophyte develops within the megaspore.
So, the correct option is 'female gametophyte'.
