Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

In Funaria, the antheridia are not sunk in pits, but project from the surface of the receptacle and are aggregated to form a cluster.

The leaves surrounding the antheridial cluster are known as the perigonial leaves.

The antheridial cluster with the surrounding perigonial leaves is called the perigonium.
