Solution

The correct option is C pollen grains
The pollen grain represents the male gametophyte as they contain the male gametes.

The strobili, also called as reproductive cones represent the aggregate of the fertile sporophylls in a male plant of the gymnosperm.

Strobili bearing microsporangia are called microsporangiate strobili or pollen cones.
