• B. 5
• C. 7
• D. 8

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the problem, we need to identify how many cells are present in the embryo sac of the majority of flowering plants.

1. Structure of the Embryo Sac:
The embryo sac in flowering plants is typically formed within the ovule. It contains seven cells, including:

• One egg cell
• Two synergids
• Three antipodal cells
• One central cell with two polar nuclei

This arrangement results in a total of seven cells in the majority of flowering plants.

Final Answer:
The embryo sac contains 7 cells (Option C).
