The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Angiospermic Plants**: - Angiospermic plants, also known as flowering plants, are characterized by certain unique reproductive features. 2. **Identifying Double Fertilization**: - One of the key characteristics of angiospermic plants is double fertilization. This process involves the fusion of one male gamete with the egg cell to form a zygote, and the fusion of another male gamete with two polar nuclei to form the endosperm. 3. **Examining the Endosperm**: - The endosperm in angiospermic plants is triploid (3n), which means it has three sets of chromosomes. This is formed as a result of the fusion of one male gamete with the two polar nuclei in the central cell of the embryo sac. 4. **Clarifying the Statements**: - Statement I: Double fertilization - **True** (This is a defining characteristic of angiosperms). - Statement II: Triploid endosperm - **True** (The endosperm is indeed triploid). - Statement III: Diploid endosperm - **False** (The endosperm is not diploid; it is triploid). 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct statements regarding angiospermic plants are I and II. Therefore, the correct option includes the statements about double fertilization and triploid endosperm. ### Final Answer: The correct option includes statements I and II: - I. Double fertilization (True) - II. Triploid endosperm (True) - III. Diploid endosperm (False)
