The correct option is C Integuments of ovule
A seed is formed from a ovule after fertilisation while the whole ovary turns into a fruit. Seed coat is derived from integuments or the outer layer os cells of the ovule.

Paricarp is the fruit wall and is made of outer epicarp, middle mesocarp and inner endocarp.

Nucelus is the part of ovule that contains the embryo sac.
