Solution

The correct option is A True
Pollen in the anther contains the male gametes and the ovules in the ovary contain the female gametes. After pollination, the male gametes reach the ovary and fuse with the egg. If a flower is not pollinated, fertilisation or fusion of gametes will not occur. So, no zygote will be produced. Thus, the flower will die without producing seeds.
