Solution

The correct option is A One male gamete with diploid secondary nucleus
After syngamy the pollen tubes releases two male gametes, one fuses with the nucleus of the egg cell and the other with the central cell and forms the primary endosperm nucleus (PEN).
So the correct option is 'One male gamete with diploid secondary nucleus'.
