Solution

The correct option is A fertilisation
The process in which the male sex cell fuses with the female sex cell is called fertilisation. The male cell is present inside the pollen grain which is produced in stamen, the male part of the flower. These pollen grains fall on the stigma of the flower and releases the male sex cells. The male sex cells reach the ovary through the style to fertilise the egg.
