Answer: Sexual.

  • A Vegetative
  • B Sexual
  • C Asexual
  • D All types of

Correct answer: B. Sexual

Explanation: The flower is the reproductive organ of angiosperms (flowering plants). It contains stamens (male) and carpels (female).

Double fertilization: pollen tube delivering two male gametes to the embryo sac, forming zygote and endosperm

Double fertilisation in angiosperms: one male gamete fuses with the egg to form the diploid zygote (syngamy), while the second fuses with the two polar nuclei to form the triploid primary endosperm nucleus (triple fusion). Image: Triploid, CC BY 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons.
