Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
The gametophytic plant of Pinus is heterosporous.
It bears both microspores (pollen grains) and megaspores (embryo sac) which develop in microsporangium and megasporangium respectively.
Both megaspore and microspore mother cells act as the last stage of sporophytic generation.
