Solution

The correct option is C Micropyle
The entry of oxygen and water in the seed is facilitated by the micropyle. It exists as a pore in the seed coat.

Hilum is the region where the body of the ovule attaches with the funicle. It remains as a scar on the seed coat.

Filiform apparatus present in synergids help in guiding the pollen tube into the synergids. Hence they play a major role before fertilisation.
