Solution

The correct option is D Nawaschin
Nawaschin described about double fertilization for the first time. It is the peculiar characteristic of angiosperms. In this process, syngamy causes the formation of zygote, that is the fusion of male and female gamete. Diploid nucleus will fuse with male gamete and forms a triploid endosperm. That is the reason why it is called as double fertilization.
