Answer 1

Answer: (D)

In gymnosperm, the female gametophyte is known as endosperm. It is haploid in nature. It is a food laden tissue in seed for future growth of embryo. The endosperm in gymnosperm is developed before fertilisation. The endosperm of angiosperm is formed after fertilisation by triple fusion.
