Answer:

C) ovulate cone

Step-by-step explanation:

The plant body of a gymnosperm is sporophyte. The sporophyte composed of roots, stems and leaves. The reproductive structures in gymnosperms produce in cones or strobili. Cones are of two types- male cones and female cones. The female cone also called ovulate cone or seed cone. It contains ovules. Ovules are haploid and after fertilization by pollen grains become seed and seed is diploid. Thus, ovulate cone is haloid not diploid.
