Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Embryonic development is seen only in the diploid generation. The embryo, however, is produced by the fusion of gametes, which are formed only by the haploid generation.
Detailed explanation-2: -The embryo sac is formed from the haploid megaspore. Hence all the cells inside the embryo sac are haploid.
Detailed explanation-3: -In angiosperms, the embryo sac represents the female gametophyte that derived from the megaspore mother cell through meiosis, that is why it is haploid.
