The terms "embryo sac" and "female gametophyte" are equivalent, as the embryo sac is the structure containing the female gametophyte within the ovule. The other options are not equivalent - an ovule is a structure within the ovary of a plant that contains the female gamete, but it is not exactly the same as an egg; a seed is a mature ovule containing a fully formed embryo (not just a zygote); and a microspore is one of the cells produced by meiosis in a male plant that develops into a pollen grain, but the two terms are not equivalent.
