    2. Maternal sporophytic tissue in ovule
    3. Antipodal cells
    4. Diploid egg
Correct Option: B

Apomixis is an asexual type of reproduction in which the plant embryos grow from egg cells without being fertilized by pollen-the male part of the plant. In citrus, apomictic embryos arise from maternal sporophytic tissue like nucellus and integuments in ovule. This type of embryony is called adventive embryony.
