Apomictic embryos in citrus arise from:

  1. A

  2. B
    Synergids
  3. C
    Maternal sporophytic tissue in ovule
  4. D
    Antipodal cells

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In many Citrus varieties, multiple embryos are formed without fertilization. These embryos arise from maternal sporophytic tissues (like the nucellus or integuments) that push into the embryo sac and develop into embryos. This is a form of adventive embryony.
