Solution
The correct option is B Two Sexual reproduction in flowering plants can be broadly classified into: Pre-fertilization, fertilization and post-fertilization events. Pre-fertilization includes all the events of sexual reproduction prior to the fusion of gametes. The main events are: i) Fusion of gametes ii) Transfer of gametes
Fertilization involves the actual fusion of gametes.
Post-fertilization includes events after zygote formation occurs.
