Solution

The correct option is D Siphonogamy

Siphonogamy is the condition in plants in which pollen tubes are developed for the transfer of the male cells to the eggs. The seed plants are termed as siphonogamous. As a consequence, the spermatophytes are called as siphonogamous by some botanists. Syngamy is the fusion of gametes producing in the formation of a zygote, which develops into a new organism.

Porogamy is the entrance of the pollen tube in the seed plants through the micropyle. Whereas Chalazogamy is the process of fertilization in which the pollen tube penetrates to the embryo sac.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
