Solution

C.

3n

In angiosperms, the endosperm development precedes embryo development. One sperm nucleus fertilizes the egg cell, forming a zygote, while the other sperm nucleus usually fuses with the binucleate central cell, forming a primary endosperm cell or PEC. Therefore, the cell created during double fertilization develops into the endosperm.
