(a) Embryo
(b) Seed
(c) Ovule
(d) Endosperm

Answer 1

Embryosac is found in OVULE.

Option C

Explanation:

• The ovule is the future seed of a plant. Being situated inside the ovary in different numbers, each ovule contains one embryo sac.
• Embryo sac contains the megaspore mother cell, which divides three times to produce 8 cells – 3 of which become antipodal cells, two become polar nuclei, and two synergids and the other becomes egg cell nucleus.
• This egg cell nucleus undergoes fertilization to produce the embryo which undergoes further modifications, and the ovule becomes a seed.
