Answer

B

Explanation

In angiosperms, triple fusion is required for the formation of endosperm. Triple fusion refers to the vegetative fertilisation, i.e. the fusion of nucleus of a male gamete with the two polar nuclei or the diploid secondary (fusion) nucleus. Triple fusion converts central cell into triploid primary endosperm cell which forms the endosperm, a nutritive tissue.
