Answer:

The correct answer is B. The pollen cone contains the male gametophytes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cone is the reproductive organ of bare pollinators. Cones are not flowers but transformed stems or shoots without flower petals. In cones, male and female storages sit together in a shoulder-shaped arrangement on a short leg. Both males and females grow on pine. In male cones that are similar in most conifers, pollen matures, but the male cones wither quickly after the pollen has faded away.
