Solution

The correct option is C Porogamy
Pollen tube eventually reaches the micropyle of an ovule and for this purpose, it may follow one of the following three routes:
1. Porogamy - When the pollen tube enters the ovule through micropyle. It is common for most of the angiosperms.
2. Mesogamy - When the pollen tube enters through the integuments (e.g Cucurbita) or through funiculus (Pistacia).
3. Chalazogamy - When the pollen tube enters through the chalazal tissues e.g. Casuarina
So, the correct answer is 'Porogamy'
