Fuses with egg to form zygote C. Synergids and antipodals III. Forms primary endosperm cell D. Central cell IV. Fuses with polar nuclei Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

During double fertilization in angiosperms, the pollen tube releases two male gametes into the cytoplasm of the synergid. The first male gamete moves towards the egg cell and fuses with its nucleus (syngamy) to form a diploid zygote (A-II). The second male gamete moves towards the two polar nuclei located in the central cell and fuses with them to produce a triploid primary endosperm nucleus (B-IV). Following fertilization, the central cell becomes the primary endosperm cell (PEC) and develops into the endosperm (D
