Pollen grains are produced in the microsporangia, which are the male reproductive structures found in the cones of gymnosperms and in the anthers of the flowers of angiosperms. Choice A, megasporangium, is the female reproductive structure that produces the megaspores, which develop into female gametophytes. Choice B, megastrobilus, is synonymous with megasporangium and would not be a correct answer. Choice D, microstrobilus, is not a valid term in botany. Choice E, micropyle, is a small opening in the ovule of a plant, through which the pollen tube penetrates during fertilization.
