Answer 1

The correct option is C

(i) fruit (ii) seed

Fertilisation occurs when one of the sperm cells in the pollen grain fuses with the egg inside the ovule. After fertilisation, each ovule develops into a seed. Each seed contains a tiny, undeveloped plant called embryo. The ovary surrounding the ovules develop into a fruit that contains one or more seeds.
