Solution:

Angiosperms show double fertilization. In syngamy, there is a fusion of one male and one female gamete having one nucleus each. In triple fusion, there is a fusion of one male gamete having one nucleus and two polar nuclei. Thus, five nuclei (2 polar nuclei, 1 egg nuclei, 2 male gametes) participate in double fertilization.
