The right answer is B) N + N yields 2N  

During this crossing, the vegetative nucleus degenerates, while the reproductive nucleus (n chromosomes) divides into 2 male nuclei or spermatozoa, each with n chromosomes. These are the male gametes of flowering plants.

One of the spermatozoa unites with the oosphere and gives the zygote (at 2n).

After this fertilization, the egg is transformed into seed while the ovary develops into fruit containing one or more seeds. The other parts of the gynoecium and the flower usually disappear.
