Solution

The correct option is C Angiosperm
In angiosperms, the male gametophyte produces two male gametes. One male gamete fuses with the female gamete and the other fuses with the secondary nucleus. As two male gametes take part and fertilization and fertilization takes place twice, this process is called double fertilization. Since three gametes are involved it is called triple fusion. Thus the correct answer is option C.
