Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

Ovules generally differentiate a single megaspore mother cell (MMC) in the micropylar region of the nucellus. In a majority of flowering plants, one of the megaspores is functional while the other three degenerate. Only the functional megaspore develops into the female gametophyte (embryo sac). This method of embryo sac formation from a single megaspore is termed monosporic development.
