Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The chromosome number in the oosphere is 8. The number in angiospermic endosperm shall be 24. The endosperm is gametophytic tissue and is haploid. A gymnopsermic leaf is a somatic organ that has diploid chromosome number in its cell.
Endosperm is triploid 3n. As, n = 8.
Thus, the number in angiospermic endosperm will be 8 × 3 = 24
