B. a pollen grain
In angiosperm the pollen is the miniature but mature male gametophyte.  This pollen is the entire gametophyte stage in the life cycle of an angiosperm. Pollen consists of  a vegetative cell and  a generative cell with two nuclei: one to form a pollen tube and one to produce the sperm nuclei to be delivered by the tube for fertilization of an ova.
