Solution
The correct option is C Anther Anther is the part of plant is suitable for the study of meiosis. A typical anther contains four microsporangia. The microsporangia form sacs or locules in the anther. The two separate locules on each side of an anther may fuse into a single locule. Each microsporangium is lined with a nutritive tissue layer called as the tapetum and initially contains diploid pollen mother cells. These undergo meiosis to form haploid spores. The spores may remain attached to each other in a tetrad or separate after meiosis.
