AStigma and the style
BFruit and the seed
CEmbryo and endosperm
DSeed and the fruit
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Seed and the fruit
1. After fertilization the ovule matures into the seed.
2. The surrounding ovary matures into the fruit.
3. The seed later germinates into a new plantlet using stored food.
4. Reversing seed and fruit, or naming embryo or floral parts, is incorrect, so those are ruled out.
