The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Double Fertilization:** - Double fertilization is a unique process where two fertilization events occur within the ovule of flowering plants (angiosperms). 2. **Identifying the Components Involved:** - In double fertilization, one sperm cell fertilizes the egg cell to form a diploid zygote. - The second sperm cell fuses with two polar nuclei to form a triploid cell, which develops into the endosperm, a nutritive tissue for the developing embryo. 3. **Analyzing the Options:** - The question provides four options: Algae, Fungi, Angiosperm, and Gymnosperm. - Algae and fungi do not exhibit double fertilization. - Gymnosperms also do not undergo double fertilization; they have a different fertilization process. 4. **Conclusion:** - The only group that exhibits double fertilization is Angiosperms (flowering plants). Therefore, the correct answer is Angiosperms. **Final Answer:** Double fertilization is exhibited by Angiosperms. ---
