The correct option is: (c) angiosperms 

Explanation:

Endosperm is the food laden tissue which is meant for nourishing the embryo in seed plants. In gymnosperms, it represents the female gametophyte and thus is haploid(n). In angiosperms, the endosperm is a special tissue which is formed as a result of fusion of a male gamete with diploid secondary nucleus of the central cell (vegetative fertilisation or triple fusion). The fusion product is primary endosperm cell having a triploid (3n) endosperm nucleus.
