Solution

The correct option is C Many chloroplasts
Spores in Funaria have many chloroplasts. Spore is the first cell of the gametophytic phase in Funaria. Each spore is spherical, 12-20 µ in diameter and surrounded by two wall layers. The outer wall is thick, smooth, brown and known as exosporium, while the inner wall is thin, hyaline and called endosporium. Spore wall encloses single nucleus, many chloroplasts and many oil globules.
