Dear student.

The correct answer is b. Ligule.

Plants which produce two different types of spores; smaller microspores and larger megaspores are known as Heterospory or Heterosporous. 
Heterospory and seed habitat were first originated in Pteridophytes, eg:  Selaginella. This sort of plant possesses a membranous scale on the inner side of the leaf sheath, known as ligule.

Regards.
