Solution

The correct option is A Somatic embryos can develop from microspores
Somatic embryogenesis is an artificial process in which a plant or embryo is derived from a single somatic cell. No endosperm or seed coat is formed around a somatic embryo. Cells derived from competent source tissue are cultured to form an undifferentiated mass of cells called a callus.
So, option A is the correct option.
