Solution

The correct option is A First nucleus of the endosperm
Formation of triploid endosperm is a characteristic feature of angiosperms which undergo double fertilization. In this case the two male gametes which enter the embryo sac will fuse with egg cell as well as the secondary polar nuclei. The fusion of egg and male gamete makes the embryo. But the fusion of polar secondary nuclei with the male gamete forms the triploid endosperm.
