(B) Microsporogenesis is the process of formation of microspores from a pollen mother cell $(PMC)$ through meiosis.Megasporogenesis is the process of formation of megaspores from the megaspore mother cell $(MMC)$ through meiosis.Both processes involve the reductional division known as meiosis to produce haploid spores from diploid mother cells.Therefore,both processes involve meiosis.
