Solution

The correct option is B Casuarina
Chalazogamy is the entry of pollen tube in the ovule through chalazal tissue. It occurs in plants like Casuarina. In Cucurbita and Populus, pollen tube enters the ovule through the integuments and this is known as mesogamy. In Lily, pollen tube enters the ovule through the micropyle and this is known as porogamy.
So, the correct answer is A.
