Answer 1

The correct option is C

(i) fruit, (ii) seed

The gynoecium is made up of three parts - the stigma, style, and the ovary. The ovary contains ovules which contain the female gametes. The ovary matures to form the fruit while the ovules form seeds. Fruit evolves from the maturing ovary following pollination and fertilization. Fruits can be either fleshy or dry. They contain one or more seeds.
