    A)  8               

    B)  4

    C)  1                

    D)  2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     In Cycas, the archegonia are formed from the gametophytic cells lining the archegonial chamber. The number of archegonia formed in a gametophyte is variable eg, 3-8 m C. revoluta, 3-6 in C. rumphi and 3-8 in C. circinalis. An archegonium consists of two-celled neck, but there is no neck canal cell. The egg and the ventral canal nucleus remain surrounded by the cells of prothallus.
