Eggs are produced in ____
A
Antheridia
B
Sporangium
C
Archegonia
D
Spores
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The eggs are produced in tiny, typically somewhat flask-like structures called archegonia. Each archegonium holds one egg (in a swollen section called the venter) and the sperm enter through the channel in the narrower, tubular section (or neck).

Detailed explanation-2: -Archegonium Function In non-flowering plants, the archegonium produces female gametes. Gametes are haploid germ cells (cells that become sperm or egg cells). When a gamete is in contact with another gamete of the opposite sex, this will form a zygote.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is called the venter. The venter is the location where the female gamete or egg will be produced and developed. Leading up from the venter is the neck of the archegonium.

Detailed explanation-4: -An archegonium (pl: archegonia), from the ancient Greek ("beginning") and ("offspring"), is a multicellular structure or organ of the gametophyte phase of certain plants, producing and containing the ovum or female gamete.

Detailed explanation-5: -Antheridia is a haploid organ that produces male gametes while the ovary produces eggs in plants. The ovary contains an egg, which lives inside an ovule. No, antheridia produce male gametes or antherozoids.
