Solution

The correct option is A True
Double fertilization is a phenomenon unique to angiosperms. Each pollen grain produces two sperm; one fuses with an egg to form the zygote and the other fuses with one or more polar nuclei in the female gametophyte. It was discovered by Nawaschin in 1898 in the liliaceous plants.
So, the correct option is, 'True'.
