Answer 1

The correct option is C An undifferentiated cell capable of developing into a system or entire plant

Totipotency is called as the capability of a single cell to get differentiated, including extraembryonic tissues. Totipotent cells produced during sexual and asexual reproduction include spores and zygotes. Thus, each totipotent cell is a self-contained entity that can provide rise to the whole organism.

So, the correct option is C.
