In gymnosperms:

C. Ovary represents megasporangium.
D. Embryo sac represents female gametophyte.

These statements are correct. In gymnosperms, the female reproductive structure called the ovule contains the megasporangium, which gives rise to the female gametophyte (embryo sac) within it. The male and female gametophytes are indeed dependent on the sporophyte in gymnosperms. So, the correct options are C and D.
