Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The female gametophyte develops within the ovule and generally consists of three antipodal cells, one central cell, two synergid cells, and one egg cell (Figures 1A and 1B). The female gametophyte is also commonly called the embryo sac or megagametophyte.
Detailed explanation-2: -The megaspore is the first haploid cell formed by meiosis in the ovule. The megaspore grows to form the megagametophyte, also called the embryo sac, which holds the megagamete, or the egg cell. So, the answer is (d) megagametophyte.
