Solution
The correct option is D Primary Endosperm Nucleus Double fertilisation is the process which involves the fusion of one male gamete with the egg to form a zygote and the other male gamete with the 2 polar nuclei (secondary nucleus) to form a primary endosperm nucleus (PEN). The PEN eventually develops into the endosperm and the zygote develops to form embryo.
