Solution

The correct option is B Seed is an ovule after fertilization and the embryo is the future plant
A fertilized ovule develops into a seed. Seed has the embryo within it which contains a plumule and radicle. Embryo is formed from the zygote which is formed when the egg is fertilized by the male gamete. Plumule and the radicle develops into a shoot and the root, respectively. The embryo remains in a dormant state or an inactive state within the seed, until it is exposed to favourable conditions. Under favourable conditions, the embryo becomes active and the seed germinates.
