Correct answer: C. Embryo sac
- A. Microsporangium
- B. Male gametophyte
- C. Embryo sac
- D. All (A), (B) and (C)
Explanation
The ovule is indeed the structure within the ovary of a flower that contains the embryo sac (also known as the female gametophyte). The embryo sac is a multicellular structure within the ovule that contains the female gametes, including the egg cell, as well as other supporting cells such as synergids and antipodal cells. Fertilization typically occurs within the embryo sac when sperm cells from pollen grains are delivered to it via a pollen tube.
