Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) diploid embryo and triploid endosperm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Syngamy is the fusion of haploid female gamete (n) and haploid male gamete (n) to form diploid zygote (2n). In triple fusion, second haploid male gamete (n) fuses with diploid secondary nucleus (2n) producing PEN that develops into triploid endosperm (3n).
