(A) Outer integument
(B) Antipodal
(C) Nucellus
(D) Synergids

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (C), only
(A) Outer integument — True. The integuments are part of the diploid ovule tissue.
(B) Antipodal — False. Antipodals are cells of the embryo sac, formed from the haploid megaspore.
(C) Nucellus — True. The nucellus is diploid tissue of the ovule.
(D) Synergids — False. Synergids belong to the haploid embryo sac.
