Solution

The correct option is B Pollen mother cell
Pollen mother cell (PMC) is diploid. It undergoes meiosis and produces four haploid microspores arranged in a cluster called microspore tetrad. As the anthers mature and dehydrate, the microspores separate from each other and develop into haploid pollen grains.
