Tiny grains that contain sperm cells.
A
Pollen
B
Sepal
C
Stamen
D
Petal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pollen is a powdery substance produced by seed plants. It consists of pollen grains (highly reduced microgametophytes), which produce male gametes (sperm cells).

Detailed explanation-2: -The sperm cells of a flowering plant are contained in pollen grains. Pollination occurs when pollen grains are transported from anthers to stigmas.

Detailed explanation-3: -There is no sperm present in a pollen grain. A pollen grain is a tiny male plant, a male gametophyte (gamete-forming plant). He is a multicellular organism (usually two cells in flowering plants, but more in the case of gymnosperm pollen) capable of producing sperm if he gets an opportunity.

Detailed explanation-4: -The male part of flowering plants is the stamen. This consists of an anther supported by a single stalk, the filament. The anther usually contains four pollen sacs which are responsible for producing pollen grains. Each pollen grain is a single cell containing two male gametes.

Detailed explanation-5: -What are Pollen Grains? Pollen grains are microscopic structures, which bear androecium – a male reproductive organ of a flower. The interior section of pollen grain contains cytoplasm along with the tube cell, which converts into a pollen tube and the generative cell releases the sperm nuclei.
