The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the development of the true embryo in flowering plants and what it results from. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The term "true embryo" refers to the structure that develops from the fertilization process in plants. 3. **Understanding Plant Fertilization**: In flowering plants, fertilization involves a process known as double fertilization. This means that two fertilization events occur. 4. **Identifying the Components Involved**: In the ovule, there are several key components: - **Egg Cell**: The female gamete. - **Synergids**: Two cells that assist in the fertilization process. - **Polar Nuclei**: Two nuclei located in the central cell of the ovule. - **Antipodal Cells**: Three cells located at the opposite end of the ovule. 5. **Describing Double Fertilization**: - One male gamete fuses with the egg cell to form the true embryo (this process is called syngamy). - The second male gamete fuses with the polar nuclei to form the endosperm (this is known as triple fusion). 6. **Conclusion**: The true embryo develops as a result of the fusion of the egg cell and the male gamete. 7. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct option is **B: egg cell and male gamete**.
