Correct option is A)
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
In Riccia, a mature archegonium is a flask-shaped structure and consists of two parts, the basal swollen portion called the venter and a long, slender neck. The neck consists of a vertical row of 4 - 6 neck canal cells. The venter encloses the venter cavity filled with two cells- the lower larger egg cell called as oosphere and the upper smaller venter canal cell. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
