Solution
The correct option is B Young anthers The anthers are the pollen-producing structures of flowering plants that are found in the male reproductive organ known as the stamen. Often referred to as pollen sac, anthers are bilobed structures that typically rest at the top of long slender stalks called filament.
The anthers are comprised of tissues that contain spore-producing cells called microsporocytes or sporogenous tissue. These pollen mother cells undergo meiosis to develop into pollen grains.
