Solution
The correct option is A Cellulose Microspores are land plant spores that develop into male gametophytes, whereas megaspores develop into female gametophytes. The male gametophyte gives rise to sperm cells, which are used for fertilization of an egg cell to form a zygote. The male gamete of the plant is known as pollen. It mainly develops in the anther. The anther walls are mostly made of cellulose, a few are pectic in nature.
