D.
Both A and B

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The endosperm in which nuclear division is accompanied by cell wall formation is Cellular endosperm.
The endosperm is a tissue produced inside the seeds of most flowering plants following double fertilization.
In cellular endosperm formation, cell-wall formation is coincident with nuclear divisions.
In endosperm formation, a cell wall is laid down between the first two nuclei, after which one half develops endosperm along the cellular pattern and the other half along the nuclear pattern.
