Answer:

D. An embryo

Fertilisation

• The process in which the male gamete fuses with the female gamete to form a new cell (called zygote) is called fertilisation.

• When the pollens are deposited on the stigma of the pistol, it begins to germinate.

• After some time, a long pollen tube is developed from the pollen grain which passes through the style towards the female gametes in the ovary.

• The male gametes move down the pollen tube and the tube enters the ovule present inside the ovary.

• The tip of pollen tube bursts and the male gamete comes out of the pollen tube.

• Inside the ovary, the male gametes fuse with the female gametes present in the ovule to form a fertilised egg cell which is called zygote.

• The zygote develops into an embryo which is a part of a seed that develops into a new plant.
