Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Double fertilization is a unique feature of angiosperms where one sperm fertilizes the egg forming a zygote, and the other sperm fuses with two polar nuclei forming the endosperm, which nourishes the developing embryo.
- Bryophytes and pteridophytes do not show double fertilization.
- Gymnosperms have single fertilization.
