Solution
The correct option is C Exine
When the anther is young, at the stage of sporogenous tissue, the cells of the tapetum contain numerous spherical bodies called pro-ubisch bodies. The number of pro-ubisch bodies increases by meiosis in Pollen mother cells. These pro-ubisch bodies get coated by sporopollenin and are called ubisch bodies or orbicules. These are involved in the formation of exine of the pollen grains. Thus, the correct answer is option C, Exine.
