Solution
The correct option is B triploid
Ploidy of endosperm of angiosperm
- Endosperm is the nourishment-providing tissue present in the angiosperms which supports the requirement of the growing embryo.
- Endosperm is formed as a result of triple fusion. The fusion of the male gamete nucleus with the two polar nuclei of the central cell results in the formation of primary endosperm nucleus.
- Hence, the primary endosperm cell in angiosperms is triploid (3n) in nature.
