A. Anther

B. Mesophyll

C. Tapetum

D. Nucleus

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The tissue which nourishes microspores is Tapetum.
The tapetum is a specialized layer of nutritive cells found within the anther, of flowering plants, where it is located between the sporogenous tissue and the anther wall. Tapetum is the innermost cell layer in the anther, which surrounds the developing pollen mother cells (PMCs) and/or microspores supplying nutrition and enzymes required for microsporogenesis and pollen maturation.
Tapetum is important for the nutrition and development of pollen grains, as well as a source of precursors for the pollen coat.
