The correct answer is:
towards the micropyle
One cell of the nucellus towards the micropylar end enlarges and derives nutrition from other nucellar cells. This is called megaspore mother cell. It undergoes meiosis to form a linear tetrad of four haploid megaspores. Out of these, three megaspores towards the micropylar end disintegrate. The one towards the chalaza is the functional megaspore.
