Correct option is C)

 

The mass of the cell nucellus has abundant reserve food materials,dense cytoplasm and prominent nucleus . These cells act as megaspore mother cells.

The megaspore mother cell undergoes meiotic division to produce four megaspores,in most of the flowering plants there is one functional megaspore and three degenerates.

The functional megaspore develops into embryo sac or female gametophyte ,this process of development from one megaspore is known as monosporic development.

Assertion is true but Reason is false
