Correct option (b) Nawaschin and Guignard

Syngamy (one male gamete fuse with egg cell to form zygote) and triple fusion (second male gamete fuses nucleus to with two polar nuclei or secondary nucleus to form triploid primary endosperm nucleus occurs simultaneously in angiosperms and this is called double fertilisation.
