Solution

The correct option is B Triploid
In angiosperms, the endosperm is the main nutritive tissue for the embryo. The endosperm is the product of double fertilization during which out of the two male gametes, one fertilizes egg to form zygote and other fuses with secondary nuclei to form triploid endosperm. Hence, triploid nature of endosperm is the characteristic feature of angiosperms.
The correct option is B.
