• B. Fusion of the male gamete with the egg cell.
• C. Both a and b
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Fusion of the male gamete with the egg cell.

Syngamy is a term that specifically refers to the fusion of the male gamete and the female gamete, resulting in the formation of the zygote. Fusion of the male gamete with the two polar nuclei is known as triple fusion and is not considered to be the part of syngamy.
