Gametophytes of sexually reproducing flowering plants are-
A
Haploid
B
Diploid
C
Tetraploid
D
Polyploid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gametophyte is a multicellular structure that is haploid, which means it contains single set of chromosomes in each cell. the gametophyte produces male or female gametes or both by a process of cell division called cell mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Haploid cells are cells with a single set of chromosomes. Diploid cells have two sets of the chromosome. Complete answer: Angiosperms are also known as flowering plants. They have an ovule (Egg) present in the female gametophyte (ovary) which fertilizes to form a seed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The functions of the gametophytes are the production of the ‘sperm cells and the female cells, and their union in fertilization. In flowering plants, the pollen grain is the male gametophyte and the embryo sac is the female gametoph yte. The male gametophyte completes its early development within the anther.

Detailed explanation-4: -Haploid cells are found in gametes cells. Therefore, in a flower, the haploid cells will be found in the pollen grains and the ovules.
