Solution

The correct option is B
pollen grains

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anthers to the stigma of a flower. Fertilisation occurs when one of the sperm cells fuses with the egg present inside an ovule. After fertilisation occurs, each ovule develops into a seed. Each seed contains a tiny, undeveloped plant called an embryo. The ovary surrounding the ovules develops into a fruit that contains one or more seeds.
