Solution
The correct option is A 16
During microsporogenesis, which takes place in the anther, each of the pollen mother cell (2n) undergoes meiotic cell division to produce a microspore tetrad. Each of the cell of microspore tetrad forms a pollen grain. Thus, from 4 cells, 16 pollen grains will be produced.
