Solution

The correct option is C seed, where funicle was attached
Ovule develops into the seed after fertilization. An angiospermic ovule is typically an ovoid and whitish structure. It occurs inside ovary where it is attached to a parenchymatous cushion called placenta either singly or in a cluster. The ovule has a stalk called the funiculus or funicle. The point of attachment of the body of the ovule with the funiculus is known as hilum. Post fertilisation the hilum is present simply as a scar on a mature seed.
