Solution

The correct option is C 3x
The angiosperm seed forms through a unique process known as double fertilization, in which one male gamete contributed by the pollen fuses with the egg cell located within the ovule to form the diploid zygote, while the other male gamete fuses with two haploid maternal nuclei in close proximity to the zygote. Hence, the chromosome will be 3x or 3n.
So, the correct option is, '3x'.
