Solution

The correct option is A Haploid
Endosperm is a tissue produced inside the seeds of most flowering plants around the time of fertilization. It surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, though it can also contain oils and protein. In gymnosperms the endosperm is haploid in nature. Whereas in angiosperms it is triploid, formed as a result of double fertilization.
