Answer

The correct term describing the entry of the pollen tube into the embryo sac of the ovule through the micropyle during fertilization is porogamy.

Explanation:

  • Porogamy refers to the process where the pollen tube enters the ovule through the micropyle, the small opening at the end of the ovule where the egg cell is located.
  • Chalazogamy involves entry through the chalaza (the basal part of the ovule opposite the micropyle).
  • Mesogamy refers to entry through the middle region of the ovule wall.
  • Syngamy is the fusion of male and female gametes (not related to the entry point of the pollen tube).

Thus, the correct answer is (d) Porogamy.
