Answer
Downward
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (B) : Downward
The body of the ovule is rotated by 180 degrees in an anatropous ovule.The ovule and micropyle's bodies are parallel to the funicle. The micropyle is located at the side of the hilum or in close proximity to it, making it an inverted ovule. At the top, the chalazal end is visible. Two polar nuclei in the core of the ovule fuse, resulting in the formation of a seven-celled stage.
