• B. fertilization
• C. external fertilization
• D. internal fertilization

Answer 1

The correct option is B

fertilization

Fertilisation or Syngamy is the fusion of the male and the female gamete to form the diploid zygote. Double fertilization is a complex fertilization mechanism of flowering plants (angiosperms). This process involves the joining of a female gametophyte (megagametophyte, also called the embryo sac) with two male gametes (sperm). Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. Parthenogenesis is the reproduction from an ovum without fertilization, especially as a normal process in some invertebrates and lower plants.
