Solution

The correct option is B one male gamete fuses with the egg and the other fuses with the secondary nucleus
Double fertilisation

The pollen grain consists of two male gametes.

Out of these two, one fuses with the female gamete (syngamy), whereas the other fuses with the polar nuclei (triple fusion).

Both syngamy and triple fusion together is called double fertilisation.
