Correct answer: B. Archegonia
- A. Synergids
- B. Archegonia
- C. Polar nuclei

The female gametophyte of angiosperm not gymnosperms typically consists of seven cells with eight nuclei: one egg cell, two synergid cells, three antipodal cells, and one central cell with two polar nuclei. So option A, C and D are incorrect.
