Solution

The correct option is C Angiosperms
Double fertilization is the peculiar characteristic of angiosperms. In this process, a diploid zygote and a triploid endosperm are formed. A haploid male gamete will fuse with the haploid egg which forms the zygote and another haploid male gamete will fuse with the secondary polar nuclei which is diploid and forms a triploid endosperm.
So, the correct answer is option C.
