Double fertilisation in angiosperms produces
Atwo zygotes
Ba diploid zygote and a triploid endosperm

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. a diploid zygote and a triploid endosperm
One male gamete fuses with the egg → diploid (2n) zygote → embryo. Other male gamete fuses with the 2 polar nuclei → triploid (3n) primary endosperm cell → endosperm tissue. Unique to flowering plants.
