Solution
The correct option is B Triple fusion and double fertilization In angiosperms, double fertilization is the peculiar characteristic. Double fertilization results in the formation of diploid zygote as well as triploid endosperm. Hence, the name 'double fertilization'. Diploid secondary polar nuclei fuses with the male gamete which is haploid in nature causing the formation of triploid endosperm. Thus, the name triple fusion.
