What is fertilization?
A
the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma
B
the union of pollen and egg cells in the ovary of the flower
C
the dispersal of seeds to a new location
D
the transfer of cash in a business transaction between plants
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a process called fertilisation, the two gametes join and their chromosomes combine, so that the fertilised cell contains a normal complement of chromosomes, with some from each parent flower. The fertilised ovule goes on to form a seed, which contains a food store and an embryo that will later grow into a new plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fertilization: The fusion of male and female gamete to form a zygote is called fertilization. As a result of pollination, pollen grains are deposited on the stigma of the carpel, and it grows into a pollen tube. The Pollen tube pierces the stigma and grows through style.

Detailed explanation-3: -In plants, fertilization is a process of sexual reproduction, which occurs after pollination and germination. Fertilization can be defined as the fusion of the male gametes (pollen) with the female gametes (ovum) to form a diploid zygote. It is a physicochemical process which occurs after the pollination of the carpel.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the sperm cell from the pollen grain reaches the ovary or ovule the sperm joins with the egg. This is called fertilization.

Detailed explanation-5: -When sperms come in contact with an egg, one of the sperms may fuse with the egg. Such fusion of the egg and the sperm is called fertilization. During fertilization, the nuclei of the sperm and the egg fuse to form a single nucleus. This results in the formation of a fertilized egg or zygote.
