Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
In a young anther, a group of compactly arranged homogenous cells called the sporogenous tissue occupies the centre of each microsporangium.
As the anther develops, the cells of the sporogenous tissue differentiate to function as microspore mother cells (MMCs).
Each microspore mother cell undergoes meiosis.
The meiotic division results in the formation of a cluster of four haploid cells called the microspore tetrad.
As the anthers mature and dehydrate, the microspores dissociate from each other and develop into pollen grains.
The correct sequence of events is Sporogenous tissue \rightarrow Microspore mother cell \rightarrow Meiosis \rightarrow Microspore tetrads \rightarrow Pollen grain, which corresponds to .
