The correct option is C Fruit

$\bullet$ Post fertilisation changes in angiospermic plants involve endosperm formation, embryo development, seed formation and fruit formation.
$\bullet$ During the course of fertilisation in angiosperms one male gamete fuses with the egg to form a dipoloid zygote which gives rise to embryo after predetermined mode of divisions.
$\bullet$ The second male gamete fuses with the diploid secondary nucleus to form triploid endosperm which nourishes the developing embryo.
$\bullet$ Ripened ovary orovary after fertilisation developes into fruit.
$\bullet$ Ovules at maturity or ripened ovules are known as seeds.
