Solution

The correct option is D Syngamy and triple fusion
Double fertilization involves two sperm cells; one fertilizes the egg cell to form the zygote. This process is called syngamy.
The other sperm fuses with the two polar nuclei. Since this process involves the fusion of three haploid nuclei, it is known as triple fusion. It results in the formation of the endosperm.
