Solution

The correct option is A endosperm
Endosperm is formed when the two sperm nuclei inside a pollen grain reach the interior of a female gametophyte (sometimes known as the embryo sac). One male nucleus fuses with the egg cell to form a zygote (2n) and another male nucleus fuses with the secondary nucleus of the central cell, resulting in endosperm (2n) formation.
