Solution

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

The sporangia that produces spores are borne on sporophylls which are arranged spirally along an axis to form strobili or cones.

Microsporangia are sporangia that produce microspores (male spores).
