Solution

The correct option is C
fertilization

Pollination is the process of transfer of pollen grains from male to female part of the flower. The male cells from the pollen grains then fuse with the female cells in the ovary of the flower. This leads to fertilization. Fertilization is the fusion of the male gamete with the female gamete. After fertilization, fruits and seeds are formed.
