Solution

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

The strobili, also called as reproductive cones represent the aggregate of the fertile sporophylls in gymnosperms.

Strobili bearing microsporangia are called microsporangiate strobili or pollen cones.
