Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The megaspore in seed plants will develop into the mature female gametophyte (also known as the embryo sac), which contains the egg cell for fertilization. The seeds and pollen grains are produced by the female and male gametophytes, respectively, but are not directly derived from the megaspore.
