Solution
The correct option is A Megasporogenesis
Megasporogenesis
Megaspore mother cells divide by meiosis and produce four megaspores. Usually, the one at the chalazal end remains functional while the other three degenerate. This process of formation of megaspores from the megaspore mother cell is called megasporogenesis.
