Solution
The correct option is D Endosperm The two sperm cells in which one sperm fertilizes the egg cell, forming a diploid zygote; the other sperm fuses with the two polar nuclei, forming a triploid cell that develops into the endosperm. These two fertilization events are called as double fertilization.
