Column- I	Column - II
A. Funicle	(i) Mass of parenchymatous cells
B. Hilum	(ii) Basal part of ovule
C. Integument	(iii) One or two protective layers of ovule
D. Chalaza	(iv) Region where the body of ovule fuses with funicle

• A. A-(i), B-(ii), C-(iii), D-(iv), E-(v)
• B. A-(v), B-(iv), C-(ii),D-(ii), E-(iii)
• C. A-(i), B-(iii), C-(v), D-(ii), E-(iv)
• D. A-(v), B-(iv), C-(iii),D-(ii), E-(i)

Answer 1

The correct option is D A-(v), B-(iv), C-(iii),D-(ii), E-(i)

Funicle - Slender stalk connecting the ovule to the placenta
Hilum - The point of attachment of the body of the ovule with the funicle.
Integument - The tough outer protective covering of the ovule.
Chalaza - The location opposite to the micropyle where nucellus is joined to the integument
Nucellus - a mass of parenchymatous cells forming a major portion of the ovule in the embryo sac which reserves abundant food materials.
