AEgg apparatus (at micropylar end)
BTetrad
CPolar nucleus
DAntipodal apparatus
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Egg apparatus (at micropylar end)
Egg apparatus: micropylar end of embryo sac. Egg (one) + 2 synergids. Synergids assist in attracting pollen tube (chemoattractants like LURE) and in delivering sperm cells. Antipodals (3) at chalazal end, function unclear (storage / nutritive). Central cell with 2 polar nuclei.
