Solution
The correct option is D Endosperm
All angiosperms are characterized by a unique process called double fertilization. Double fertilization is significant because it involves the use of both the male gametes produced by a pollen grain. Thr first male gamete fuses with the egg cell to form the zygote and the second male gamete fuses with the secondary polar nuclei to form the endosperm. The endosperm contains three nuclei and hence, also called as the triple endospermic nucleus (TEN). Thus, the correct answer is option B.
