Answer:

option C, haploid

Step-by-step explanation:

A male gametophyte develops into the pollen of the flower and consists of two haploid nuclei

a) The germ nucleus

b) The tube nucleus

Both these haploid nuclei’s are contained within the exine of the pollen grain. A male haploid cell contains 50 percent of the exact number of chromosomes as compared to its original chromosome number. In females, the gametophyte has eight haploid cells.
