• B. Fertilization of egg cell by two male gametes
• C. Fertilization of egg cell and central cell by two male gametes brought by different pollen tubes
• D. Fertilization of two egg cells by two male gametes brought by same pollen tube

Answer 1

The correct option is A Fertilization of egg cell and central cell by two male gametes brought by same pollen tube

Double fertilization involves two male gamete brought by same pollen tube; one fertilizes the egg cell to form the zygote, while the other fuses with the two polar nuclei that forms the endosperm.

So statement A is correct.
