Solution

The correct option is B Two
In flowering plants, double fertilization occurs. It involves two fusions during fertilization of an ovule. A pollen grain contains two male gametes. One of the male gametes fuses with the female gamete to form a zygote and the other one fuses with the polar nuclei to form the primary endosperm nucleus.
