Answer 1

The correct option is D A and C only

Apogamy is the formation of sporophyte directly from gametophyte without gamete formation and gemetic fusion. The point at which funicle touches the ovule is known as hilum. A raphe is formed by the fusion of funiculus with the body of ovule. Endothecium is a sublayer of epidermis which is placed below the epidermis in the anther, The process of fusion of egg with the sperm is called syngamy.
