The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks where the two types of fusions, syngamy and triple fusion, occur in angiosperms, which leads to the phenomenon known as double fertilization. 2. **Defining Key Terms:** - **Syngamy:** This is the fusion of one male gamete with the egg cell (female gamete) to form a zygote. - **Triple Fusion:** This occurs when the second male gamete fuses with the diploid secondary nucleus, resulting in the formation of a triploid primary endosperm nucleus. 3. **Identifying the Location of Double Fertilization:** - In angiosperms, both syngamy and triple fusion occur within a specific structure. - The structure where these processes take place is known as the **embryo sac**. 4. **Eliminating Other Options:** - **Ovary:** This is the part of the flower that contains the ovules but is not the site of fertilization. - **Ovule:** This is the structure that develops into a seed after fertilization but does not directly refer to the location of the double fertilization process. - **Cyst:** This term does not relate to the reproductive structures in flowering plants. 5. **Conclusion:** Since both types of fusions occur in the embryo sac, the answer to the question is that the phenomenon termed double fertilization takes place in the **embryo sac**. **Final Answer:** The phenomenon is termed double fertilization and takes place in the **embryo sac**. ---
