The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements about angiosperms, we will analyze each statement one by one to determine their correctness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - The statement claims that the male sex organ in a flower is a pistil. - **Correction**: The male sex organ in a flower is actually the stamen, not the pistil. The pistil is the female reproductive part of the flower. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - The statement claims that the anther undergoes mitosis to produce pollen grains. - **Correction**: The anther contains pollen mother cells, which undergo meiosis, not mitosis, to produce pollen grains. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - The statement claims that the primary endosperm nucleus in an embryo sac is diploid. - **Correction**: The primary endosperm nucleus is actually triploid (3n) in angiosperms, formed after fertilization when the polar nuclei fuse with a sperm cell. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Analyze Statement D**: - The statement claims that after double fertilization, the ovule develops into the seed and the ovary develops into the fruit. - **Correction**: This statement is true. In angiosperms, double fertilization occurs, leading to the formation of the seed from the ovule and the fruit from the ovary. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion: - The only correct statement regarding angiosperms is **Statement D**. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option D**.
