b. Gametes transfer
c. Growth of pollen tube
d. Syngamy
e. Embryogenesis

  • A
    c, d & e

  • C
    b, c & d
  • D
    a, b & d

Solution

Syngamy or fertilisation is the fusion of male gamete with female gamete which results in the formation of zygote. This zygote undergoes mitosis, and this results in the formation of embryo by a process called embryogenesis. Thus, syngamy and embryogenesis are post-fertilization events.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
