Solution

The correct option is C Nawaschin
The fusion of one male gamete with egg and that of another male gamete with secondary nucleus is called double fertilization. All angiosperms are characterized by a unique process called " double fertilization". It was discovered by S.G.Nawaschin (1898) in LIllium and Fritillaria species.
Thus option C is the correct answer.
