Male gametophyte with least number of cells is present in:

  1. Pteris
  2. Funaria
  3. Lilium
  4. Pinus

Correct answer: Lilium

Solution

In flowering plants, the male gametophyte is the pollen grain, and in Lilium it is highly reduced at maturity, typically consisting of just a vegetative cell and a generative cell. The other options have male gametophytes with more cells or are not as reduced at the stage being compared.
