$\begin{array}{cccc}& A& & B\\ 1.& Fruit& a& Endospermnucleus\\ 2.& Seed& b& Ovary\\ 3.& Endosperm& c& Ovule\\ 4.& Embryo& d& Zygote\end{array}$

• A. 1-b, 2-d, 3-c, 4-b
• B. 1-c, 2-d, 3-b, 4-a

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1-b, 2-c, 3-a, 4-d

On maturation, the ovary becomes the fruit, the ovule becomes the seed, the endosperm nucleus becomes the food-laden endosperm and the zygote becomes the embryo which eventually gives rise to a new plant. Petals, sepals, stamens, stigma and style may shrivel and fall off.
