Solution
The correct option is CLilium
Double feritilisation is the fusion of two male gametes brought by a pollen tube to two different cells of the same female gametophyte in order to produce two different structures. It is found only in angiosperms where it was first discovered by Nowaschin, in 1898, in Fritillaria and Lilium. Double fertilisation is union of one male gamete with egg and the other male gamete with secondary nucleus of the same embryo sac (triple fusion)
